Description

Come and explore our exhibitions with our friendly learning team and use resources in the Salmon Gallery to explore through a range of creative workshops. Each week brings something new inspired by our gallery exhibitions Crip Arte Spazio: The Disability Arts Movement in Venice in Gallery 1 and Sabrina Tirvengadum: Who Were They? Who Am I? in Gallery 2 – perfect for families and children. Spaces are limited to give people enough space and are pre-bookable only.

When booking tickets, please book the accurate amount of children and adults coming to each workshop. Adults must stay with their children at all times.

Workshops are free for all but we offer Pay What You Can tickets to help support the continuation of this work for our communities.
