Welcome to Photocraft Camera Club of Wallington

Photocraft is a friendly community for all skill levels. Whether you’re capturing memories on your smartphone or shooting with professional gear, you’ll find your place here. We’re a relaxed group of photography enthusiasts who love sharing tips, exploring new techniques, and simply enjoying great images together.

Our club season runs from September to June, filled with activities designed to spark your creativity and build your skills. Our hybrid schedule is designed to give you the best of both worlds: the friendly, social atmosphere of meeting face-to-face and the convenience of joining online.

On the first, third, and (when there is one) fifth Wednesday of each month, we gather in person at St. Patrick’s Centre in Wallington – doors open at 7:45 PM for an 8:00 PM start. All other Wednesdays we meet online via Zoom, which means we can connect with speakers from anywhere and welcome members who live further afield.

Our programme is designed to offer something for every interest and skill level. We host inspiring guest speakers who share fresh perspectives, alongside practical workshops led by our own members on everything from camera fundamentals to advanced editing.

A key part of our programme is our friendly competitions for both print and digital images. While completely optional, they provide a fantastic opportunity to receive supportive, constructive feedback from external judges and challenge yourself creatively. We even live-stream these events so everyone can participate, whether in the hall or at home.

Beyond our regular meetings, we organise photo walks throughout the year. These outings are a perfect chance to practice your skills in a social environment, explore new locations, and connect with fellow members.

Curious about what we’re up to? The easiest way to find out is to join us for an evening – you can come along for free for up to three meetings to see if we’re a good fit for each other. Check our Programme page to see what’s coming up and whether we’re meeting in person or online that week. If you have questions, our membership secretary is happy to help.

We’d love to see you there.
