Our popular children’s workshops will be running every day at Showcase 2024. There’s no need to book; just turn up and have fun.
The activities are designed for children aged 6 and above. There is a fee of £2 per activity to cover the cost of materials.
You can join in any time throughout the session, as long as you will be able to complete the activity.
