Many Tuesday sessions also include fun children's yoga, combining movement, games and creativity for the perfect holiday activity.
Something Different Every Week
Each week brings a fresh programme of activities, giving children the chance to learn new skills, experiment with different materials and take home their own handmade creations. Popular Mystery Mess Workshops also return, encouraging young artists to explore a range of surprise creative activities.
Everything You Need to Know
Activities take place in the Education Centre and Garden and are suitable for children aged 3+. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
Morning sessions run from 10.00am – 11.30am and afternoon sessions from 1.00pm – 2.30pm.
All materials are provided and prices include entry to the activity plus museum admission for one child and one accompanying adult. Places are limited, so advance booking is essential.
Children are encouraged to wear old clothes or bring an apron as many of the activities can get wonderfully messy!
