The Gallery organises family events during school holidays and on special occasions. Family events are a relaxed and fun way to find out about art as well as providing an opportunity to spend some creative time together. They are particularly aimed at 5-12 year olds, although many can be enjoyed by under 5s. All family events are free and there is no need to book unless specifically stated in the event details.
Children's Gallery
The Children's Gallery is dedicated to exhibitions drawn from the national collection, aimed at maximising the enjoyment and enrichment of a visiting child's experience.
These exhibitions encourage and challenge children to be engaged and stimulated by art and are supported by a range of interactive activities.
