FAMILIES
Family Events
Free Art Fun for all the family!
There are family events during school holidays and on some other days too. Family events are a great way to find out about art and design in an enjoyable way and spend some creative time together. They are particularly aimed at 5-12 year olds, although many can be enjoyed by under 5s. All family events are free and there is no need to book unless specifically stated in the event details.
