Join in with an event

We run regular activities just for under 5s. Our Titchy Toddler mornings take place on selected term-time mornings once or twice a month. During these sessions under 5s get exclusive access to the galleries with special activities set up, and special storytelling on offer.

We also run school holiday sessions for just younger visitors, and other activities such as storytelling take place throughout the year.
