Capture the Spirit of Summer…through lens, artwork and dance

Looking for fun, creative ways to fill your time this summer holiday? Then book on to one of the many Community Arts activities on offer from the Council’s Leisure team.

For photographers big and small, there are Picture This..! Photography Walks taking place in Chorleywood House Grounds, Leavesden Country Park, Oxhey Woods Sculpture Trail and Rickmansworth Aquadrome throughout July and August.

The relaxed and friendly walks are suitable for families and people of all ages and ability levels. No specialist equipment is needed; just bring a digital camera, Smartphone or tablet and your imagination!

Taking guidance from professional photographer Pete Stevens, you can enjoy the surroundings whilst picking up handy tips on composition, resolution and how to use natural lighting.

See your photos feature in an online gallery afterwards and be in with the chance of winning the 'best snap' competition!
