About

Join artist Lucy McDonald for a fun activity as part of National Play Day.

Come and build playful spaces with your family!
Make cosy nooks, secret hideaways, and imagination dens using all kinds of curious materials.
Let your creativity run wild—explore, build, and dream together.

For all ages – children and their grown-ups (children must be accompanied by an adult at all times).
All materials provided.
Drop in and stay as long as you like – there is no need to book, and this activity is free.

Let's make spaces to play, connect, and imagine new worlds.
