SATURDAY SESSION 10:30-11.30AM @ The White House Dagenham

GoodGym B&D is returning back to the The White House (https://www.whitehouseart.org/) garden after two successful sessions in the Summer. Check out an Insta reel from a previous session here (https://www.instagram.com/p/Db3Wf6Egcx4/) to get a feel for what to expect

Until recently a derelict 18th century farmhouse, in 2016 The WhIte House transfomed into a public space for art and social activity, hosting a public programme from poetry to painting to gardening.
