2025 - Do you have a New Years Resolution? For us, we believe it is the perfect year to challenge yourself, break free from routines, and step boldly out of your comfort zone!
Growth doesn’t happen in familiar spaces—by trying something new, you’re opening doors to personal development, increased confidence, and even new friendships - many of our event guests have stayed in touch and come back together to build on their skills or meet up again in the stunning grounds of the manor!
When you step into the unknown, you gain resilience, sharpen your skills, and discover passions you didn’t know you had. It might feel daunting, but the rewards are undeniable!
Joining workshops, events, or clubs - like those we host at Little Massingham Manor can be a perfect first step. By participating, you’ll not only learn new skills, but also connect with like-minded individuals who inspire and support your growth. We know many of you may attend with a friend and use one of our workshops as 'something different' to try together, but we also love seeing those individuals who arrive alone, keen to test their confidence and social skills and leave feeling inspired and happy they 'took the leap!'
Whether it’s trying your hand at a creative pursuit, or simply exploring a new hobby, 2025 is YOUR year to make meaningful changes!
Push boundaries, surprise yourself, and experience the confidence boost that comes from saying “yes” to the unknown.
Let Little Massingham Manor guide you through this exciting journey with workshops and events designed to help you grow and thrive. This is your chance to make 2025 a year of discovery and transformation! Pauline Bull, one of our artists we are lucky to have run workshops with us knows all about how trying something new can grow your confidence and in Pauline's case, completely change her career!
"I’ve been lucky to have had a very diverse and interesting life. It has enabled me to discover more and more ways to be creative. Having been told by an Astrologer, many years ago that I had natural artistic talent which lead me to a Commercial art career, Interior design and to sharing my knowledge in Art workshops that I do today, from; Pen & Wash, Chinese Brush painting, to ‘Life Drawing’, all of which you will find inspirationally creative and fun to learn new ways to express yourself… which I’m sure you will enjoy"
Our tailored workshops encourage creativity, skill-building, and meaningful connections with like-minded individuals. Whether it’s learning a new craft, improving your public speaking, or diving into an exciting hobby, you’ll find the supportive environment you need to thrive.
Here are five reasons why being creative can boost your confidence and improve well-being:
- Sense of Achievement: Completing a creative project, like painting or crafting, gives you tangible proof of your abilities, building self-esteem! You CAN do more than you think!
- Stress Relief: Activities like pottery or knitting can be meditative, helping you stay calm and focused. Go home feeling like the weight of the world has been lifted!
- Skill Development: Mastering a new craft enhances your confidence as you realise your capacity to learn and improve. Sometimes we think 'that's it' for the skills we are able to adopt...that's not the case!
- Expression of Identity: Creating allows you to showcase your personality and unique talents. Express yourself - we're ready to see what you got!
- Social Connection: Participating in creative workshops or sharing your work fosters a sense of community and belonging. Just like with Pauline, she found her purpose and passion when she was encouraged by someone else with the belief in her.
So, make 2025 your year of discovery. Break the mold, try something new, and experience the joy of growth. Let Little Massingham Manor be your springboard to confidence and success! Browse our events page now and we look forward to meeting you!
