Join us for Kids Aloud!

This summer holiday we’re taking part in Art Fund’s Kids Aloud campaign - when noisy kids are allowed to be loud! Join us every Thursday in August from 10am-3pm for our Kids Aloud timeslot, when children can be energetic and noisy whilst exploring our galleries. We’ll have a special Art Detective Trail around the galleries, our art cart will be out with fun activities and games and don’t forget our hands-on Kipper the Cat activities in the galleries. There’s no need to book, just turn up and have some noisy fun!

Every Thursday in August 10.00am - 3.00pm
