Summer Family Activities: Cattywampus!
Join in with our fun sensory soundscapes to make and play. Explore analogue and digital techniques to find the beat and create the rhythm.
Bring all your bruhaha, hullabaloo, and rumpus to add to the mix.
A happenstance of collaboration where our families take over the space.
The workshops are drop-in; however we invite you to book a space for your session as spaces are limited.
The last week (20 - 22 Aug) will be a little quieter, as we lower the sounds and subdue the lights, for those who prefer it a little more tranquil.
Our sessions take place on Tue, Wed & Thu, 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.
Free. Limited Capacity. Booking is required.
