Space to park prams is available at the Courtyard Entrance.
Join us on 4 November when Parker will display the children's artwork throughout Kettle’s Yard, for one day only.
Against the backdrop of our present climate reality, and supported by teaching staff, around 800 children will respond to Parker’s 2023 film THE FUTURE (Sixes and Sevens) by drawing a picture of what they want to be when they grow up and writing a short letter (to whomever they choose – whether a person in power, a teacher, or their future selves) describing their hopes for their future.
We will be running drop-in family craft activities, including making tissue paper flowers, string skeletons, colouring sheets and much more.

Use museum objects to observe closely, perform simple tests, classify objects and gather your own data. Can you find out which parts of the learning gallery are attracted to a magnet and which are not? How many different ways can you find to sort shells? What can you see through our telescopes and microscopes? Can you measure sound, length and time and record your results?
