This special workshop for 2-5 year olds is inspired by the wonderful book “Bumblebear” by Nadia Shireen, a story about a bear who loves honey so much he pretends to be a bee. Join us for this parent and child workshop as we dress up, dance and act out this fabulous story.

Please dress in warm and comfortable clothes (grown-ups too!) so we can move around comfortably and be prepared for all weathers.

Please book child places only.  Accompanying adults will be required to pay normal Garden admission on the day.

Test your new found colour knowledge with games and quizzes.

Make your own paper stained glass window inspired by our exhibition all about colour.

Join this art-based session and learn how watercolour pens can be used to create all sorts of great effects.

Did you know that museum collections can act as time machines, showing us what wildlife was like in the past and helping us to protect it today. Join us and our brilliant actors from Emergency Exit Arts as we explore butterflies past and present with fun family-friendly activities.
