Please drop in to the workshop at the gallery as there will be a limited number of drop-in spaces available on the day.

This session is recommended for kids aged 7 – 11 years and their families but all ages are welcome.

Our summer events programme was made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players we have been able to transform our gardens and create new opportunities for everyone to engage with art and nature.
