Come along to create, play and explore in our large, welcoming space this Summer! Inspired by our new exhibition Chico da Silva: And the soul is for the birds, step into a world of imagination and create your own colourful creatures and wonderful landscapes.

Our fantastic Play & Learn Facilitators will be on hand to guide you through the activities, with plenty of ways for you to explore and have fun! As always, we’ll have relaxed areas set up with sensory toys and books to enjoy together.

The workshops are drop-in; however, we invite you to book a space for your session as spaces are limited.

The sessions take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays at the following times:

Tuesday, 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm

Wednesday, 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm*

Thursday, 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm

*Please note we run Sensory Sessions on Wednesday Afternoons, 1pm-3pm. These are lower stimulation sessions for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) including neurodivergent children and their families. These sessions are for families who feel this environment would be more suited to them, with a diagnosis or not.
