Important Information
This is a free, public event designed to be family-friendly and accessible, with volunteers and staff on hand to help. It’s an ideal outing for middle-aged parents seeking a local cultural activity that is engaging for school-aged children without the pressure of purchase or entry fees.
Parents should be aware that artwork is on display and supervised young children are encouraged to observe and enjoy rather than touch exhibits unless a hands-on area is clearly signposted. Bring gentle reminders for kids about gallery manners to keep the experience positive for everyone.
Weather is not a factor for indoor exhibition spaces, but plan transport and arrival times around school pick-ups and weekend routines.
