In 2026, The Percival Guildhouse is collaborating with local businesses and experienced practitioners to offer a limited time collection of new and unusual courses.
Created in response to feedback gathered across the town in 2025, New Picks for 2026 brings together practical skills, creative experiences and cultural courses that are current, relevant and a little different from our usual programme.
And what’s more, all of these courses can be booked online via Eventbrite.
Learn what it actually takes to turn an idea into a working business, guided by people who run one themselves.
How to book
Each New Picks course has its own page with full details, dates and booking information. Just click on one of the links above to find out more.
Places are limited and courses are offered for a short time only.
Why New Picks?
New Picks for 2026 is about trying new ideas, working with new partners and responding directly to what people told us they wanted to learn. We hope you’ll find something that sparks your interest.
