At Family Saturdays, families are invited to get creative together and take part in fun, exploratory art activities inspired by our current exhibitions programme.

From painting to model making, collaging and inventing, budding young artists can learn new artistic techniques in a supportive and nurturing creative space with other young children and families. These relaxed sessions are designed to suit all ages and abilities, and all materials are provided.

Family Saturdays takes place in the Communal Space every Saturday from 11am - 1pm. No booking is required and you can drop in and out of the session. Please note, there is a total capacity of 30 people at any one time. All are welcome to wait in our cafe or explore our exhibitions if a queue develops.

The suggested donation for Family Saturdays is £3 per participant. You can make a donation at the venue or by donating online here. All donations will help us continue to deliver free access to art.
