The Baddies

This family-friendly show is a laugh-a-minute adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s hit The Baddies (psst, if they sound familiar think The Gruffalo). It’s on 26 & 27 Oct and is about the diabolical trio of a witch, troll and ghost who set out to scare a girl who moved into a nearby cottage. We’ll go on a journey to find out who, if anyone, is the baddest.

Mini Creatives

Kids aged 0 to 4? Then you’re going to want to check out free weekly drop in Mini Creatives. They’re held every Tuesday between 10.30am and midday and are led by local artists through creative activities to inspire, pique curiosity and support development. Think everything from music making to sensory arts.

Workshop Wednesdays

All ages can take part in these popular free sessions between 1.30pm and 4pm which are led by artists and student societies every hump day.

Expect to get to grips with everything from perspex to palette knives, brushes, paint, ink and rollers.

Family Sundays

Let their creative side run free at these fun, free workshops for the whole family between 1.30pm and 4pm.

Family Singing

Perfect to take part in before the family Sunday sessions above for a wholesome day that will have them (and you!) sleeping well that night.

My First Concert

Not took the kids to a show before? Now’s your chance. This relaxed, interactive performance by professional classical musicians is perfect for ages 0-7 years. It’s designed especially for babies, children and their adults, and means you and kick back and enjoy some live music, albeit maybe not as wild as that Prodigy gig you went to in the 90s. It’s on 31 Oct at 1pm.
