February Half Term Family Activities

About this event

February Half Term is just around the corner and we can’t wait to see you at our Family Activities! Inspired by our new exhibitions, Shahana Rajani: Lines That World a River لکیروں سے دریا تھامنا and Dala Nasser: Cemetery of Martyrs - join us to make, explore and play.

The workshops are drop-in; however, we invite you to book a space for your session as spaces are limited. Our sessions take place on Tuesdays, Wednesday & Thursdays at the following times:

Tue, 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm

Wed 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm*

Thu 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm

*Please note we run SEND Sessions on Wednesday Afternoons, 1pm-3pm. These are lower stimulation sessions for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) including neurodivergent children – and their families. These sessions are for families who feel this environment would be more suited to them, whether you have a diagnosis or not. If you are interested in these sessions, please find out more and book here.

Book one ticket per person, including adults & children. If you are unable to make it on the day, please cancel your tickets so that others may attend.

If you would like more information, or would like support in completing your booking, please email [email protected] or call us on 0115 948 9750.
