Join us for the Family Learning Festival! This national event celebrates the joy of learning within families. This year, we will host free, spooky workshops during the half-term break that aim to ‘inspire curiosity’ and encourage family fun. These 2-hour workshops will include seasonal arts and crafts for all ages.
