Family Festival: Colourfest
All ages welcome
Kick off summer with a celebration of colour for all the family! Explore colour in lots of different ways – through storytelling, printmaking, drawing, building and more. Remember, our Collection and Cutting Edge exhibition are free for you to explore!
Making an Impression
10am-5pm, Gallery 4 and Cloisters
Come and see the results of the gallery’s summer family project ‘Making an Impression’! In Gallery 4 you can try out the resource we have made with a group of local families over 6 sessions and in the cloisters you can see the artwork they have made during these sessions.
Rainbow Storytelling
11am, 12pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm, Gazebo in the Grounds (First-Come, First-Served)
Have you been tickled pink? Are you feeling blue? Or are you green with envy? Join our magical storyteller, Debbie Guneratne, for a series of stories about the power of different colours.
Stitch School
10am-5pm, Pavilion
