Hear from our community

"Loved the workshop. Allows much more variety and interest to be gained from the experience."

"My 3 year old loved taking part in the foyer activity after the show."

"It’s great that the Arts Centre holds activities for families. My kids enjoyed the drawing and collage making in the exhibition. A good chance to relax for me too!"
