Family Art Club celebrates creativity and play through hands-on making, painting and drawing. Every week we’ll reveal a treasure trove of art materials, loose parts and recycling themed around our exhibitions to be transformed into whatever artworks, models and fashion accessories you can dream up!

Family Art Club is suitable for children of all ages and we encourage parents, grandparents and carers to get stuck in too – this isn’t children’s art club, its Family Art Club!

– Please wear clothes you won’t be upset about getting messy.
– Breakfast cereal for children is provided for free at this club.
– All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Booking
Family Art Club is a drop-in session, but we do recommend booking to make sure that you have a place during busier times. Places at Family Art Club are offered on a ‘pay what you can’ donation basis, so that you can choose how much to pay according to what your family can afford. Your donations support us in delivering an accessible arts service for local families.

Family Art Club Membership
You can buy a Family Art Club membership pack from reception for £9.99. This pack includes arty goodies to use at home and supports us in continuing to offer a pay-what-you-can service for families.
