Families and Early Years

Getting creative is for all ages. We are excited to welcome you to our building with free, artist led, creative activities for families each week. All of our activities are led by artists and designed for families to create, make and play together.

Free Family Foyer Activities


Family Sundays

Every Sunday during term time, drop-in for creative workshops led by our artists-in-residence.

Working across drawing, sculpture, painting, and movement we invite you to come and spend time together as a family, making, exploring and having fun in unique and exciting ways!

Mini Creatives

Every Tuesday during term time, drop-in to our artist led sessions offering a relaxed space for babies, toddlers, and their grown-ups.  

Explore the creative arts through interaction, discovery, and play. This is a space for new families to develop creatively together. 

Musical Picnics

A monthly, drop-in series of participatory family performances. On Sundays in term time, for families of all ages.  

These hugely popular events have included sessions in recent months ranging from beatboxing and folk to brass band and jazz. 

With acts changing monthly, there’s a new experience every time! Find out more about Musical Picnics. 

Family Singing

Open to all ages, you just need to bring yourself and your willingness to have lots of fun!
