Relax, play and have fun together in our Play Friday sessions for under 5s and their grown-ups. 

Each month, our Theatre of Curiosity space comes alive with a different mini-adventure developed specially for our youngest visitors. 

 

Next session -Friday 27 March - Noodle Wonderland​

Step into noodle wonderland this March! A space where giant beads become building blocks using different methods, materials and unexpected objects to thread and construct large, colourful structures together.​

Our Play Friday sessions are developed using the theory of schematic play to encourage open-ended exploration and help children learn about the world through play. This month is all about connecting.

 

Storytelling for under 8s also runs upstairs in the Studio at 11am.

 

Stay all day! Pre-schoolers and toddlers also love our parachutes, Build It area, giant bubbles, invisibility cloaks and much more.  

 

You can come and go as you please. Just hold on to your tickets to show the team when you come back.
