Join us as we look under the microscope at some aquatic wildlife, plus help us to make a HUGE zoology themed paper chain! We'll have our specimen handling table out too, so come along and have a chat with our expert volunteers whilst handling some real animal specimens.
All activities and Museum entry FREE.
Join us for a relaxed morning at the Museum for all the family. We’ll have picture books, drawing materials, sensory play resources, as well as tips and ideas to help you enjoy your visit. Babies and young children are especially welcome.
These free events build upon our ‘Family Welcome Project’, a participatory research project with the North Cambridge Child and Family Centre.
Explore the house and gallery, draw inspiration from the surroundings, and create architectural models using recycled materials.
Create your own sculpture inspired by natural objects thoughtfully placed in the Kettle’s Yard house. Join artist Kelly Briggs in the Clore Learning Studio to explore how we can use natural objects and materials to make our own sculptures which can support the biodiversity of the local environment.
The recycling bin is a treasure trove for printmakers. In this workshop we will look at those weird textured cardboards, tetrapak containers and wrappings, and see potential art materials.
Join artist Jacqui Campbell at Kettle’s Yard and discover how to select and ink up materials, make playful compositions and roll these through the printing press to reveal unique prints.
We’ll be using washable water-based ink but printing can be a messy process so make sure you’re wearing your old clothes.
Sport and art collide in our free, family-friendly outdoor sensory play experience designed by artists Play Build Play.
Inspired by 'Paris 1924: Sport, Art and the Body' exhibition artists Play Build Play have designed a sensory athletics field of play for families to take-part in. Each week, the Play Pavilion will also be joined by sports providers providing even more opportunities for play.
