Workshop Timetable

Our popular programme of family workshops runs every day during Showcase.   No need to book – just turn up at any time, provided there’s time to finish your piece.

Workshops are suitable for children aged 6 and upwards; adults are welcome too!    Each activity costs just £2 to cover materials.    Parents and guardians stay with their child, and the whole space has a friendly, relaxed, have-a-go feel.
