Festive Explorer Family Workshop
What to expect
Enjoy creative family time with our Explorer family art workshops this festive season. Children and grown-ups can discover selected artworks and stories throughout the museum before creating their own festive-inspired artwork to take home.
These hands-on workshops encourage families to explore, imagine and make together while spending quality time in the museum. They also offer a wonderful opportunity to experience the museum's historic buildings and expansive grounds.
On the dates listed, our regular Explorer workshops will feature a special festive theme, providing a seasonal twist on this popular family experience.
