Free this Sunday?

If your idea of a perfect weekend afternoon involves slowing down, getting a little creative and meeting like-minded people in a relaxed, no-pressure setting, this new Cork get-together might be just the thing.

Cork Create & Connect, taking place on Sunday, February 15th from 2pm to 4pm in the Community Space at Tesco Superstore in Ballincollig, is a free adults-only gathering designed to help people unwind, make art and connect in a genuinely welcoming way.

Run by Maïna, Create & Connect is refreshingly unpretentious.

This isn’t about being “good at art” or producing something to take home and frame—it’s about the simple, grounding joy of making with your hands and sharing space with others.

Expect gentle, accessible creative activities like drawing, painting and mixed media, alongside playful exercises that encourage emotional expression, curiosity and calm. You’re free to chat or stay quiet, follow your own creative flow or simply be present.

The afternoon is open to creatives and non-creatives alike, it’s a lovely opportunity to try something new, nurture your wellbeing and spend a Sunday afternoon doing something a little softer.

Best of all, it’s completely free—just reserve your spot in advance on Eventbrite.
