easter news

Join us this Easter for a fantastic programme of free creative activities for families to enjoy together.

Whether you’re looking for something fun to do during the school holidays or simply want to spend some time getting creative, everyone is welcome to come along and join in.

Our relaxed drop-in craft sessions give children the chance to explore different art techniques, experiment with materials and make something special to take home. There’s no need to book – just drop in, get creative and enjoy a friendly, welcoming space.

Alongside our holiday activities, we’re also excited to be opening a new exhibition  'Open Art'.  Visitors will also be able to explore The World of Birds, a wonderful exhibition celebrating the beauty, colour and diversity of birds.

All craft sessions are completely free and run from 10am to 1pm (unless otherwise stated), so you can drop in at any time during the session.
