About
Visit the Learning Room and take part in a different craft activity every Tuesday during the summer holidays.
Each week, families can play, learn, and experiment with a different art form - from clay and paint to sculpture and sensory play. There'll be a variety of materials to explore:
- Clay
- Watercolours
- Pastels
- Collage
- Shapes
- Sculpture
- Sensory play
This event is part of our Ways to Play programme of free and low-cost family-friendly activities.
Make your ‘Ways to Play’ adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro and / or Ferry.
Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Metro and the Shields Ferry with a fare-paying adult. Metro is the convenient, fast and frequent way to get to your favourite attractions and now it’s even more affordable.
