Join us for hands-on creative fun for you and your little ones.

Whether it’s colouring, splashing, or getting stuck into some glorious gloop in an activity room, or discovering beastly bugs and playing instruments in the gallery, our under 5s sessions provide our youngest visitors the chance to explore their senses, get creative and sometimes make a little bit of a mess (don’t worry, you can leave the cleaning up to us).
