Come and join the fun at The Corn Hall Diss – a colourful world of creativity is waiting for you! 

 

Jump into a session full of art activities based on the amazing watercolour paintings in our gallery. Each session is led by a friendly artist who will help you splash, swirl, and experiment with paint – just like John Lidzey did! 

 

You’ll get to try some of the fun watercolour tricks seen in his artwork. Look closely – you might even spot places around Diss that you know! 

 

John’s paintings turn everyday things into something magical. From quiet rooms to cosy cups and local views – they’re full of imagination, and now it’s your turn to create your own!

Remember to dress for mess 

 

Support The Corn Hall Diss 

As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With Art, as well as supporting our core costs. We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation, anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer you a very warm thank you.
