It's time for some Kindectivity! We're celebrating the themes in our current exhibition showing the work of Donald Rodney one of Britain's leading Black artists. Join us as we explore the actions of sharing and kindness through making and play.

Work with your family and friends, to connect with others through large scale mapping and activities, where everyone joins in to make a community for all.

The workshops are drop-in; however, we invite you to book a space for your session as spaces are limited.

Our sessions take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays, at the following times:

10am - 12 noon

1pm – 3pm

Book one ticket per person, including adults and children.

If you are unable to make it on the day, please cancel your tickets so that others may attend.

If you would like more information, or would like support in completing your booking, please call us on 0115 948 9750.
