It's October Half Term and our Family Activities are back!

Inspired by our new exhibitions by artist duo Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme and I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih: Feels Strangely Good, Ya?, join us to make, explore and play in imaginary dream worlds. Shape your own dreamscape through textures, colours, and stories. Bring your wonder, whimsy, and wild ideas to the mix!

The workshops are drop-in; however, we invite you to book a space for your session as spaces are limited.
