Our fun-filled holiday programme gives young artists the chance to explore their imagination, experiment with different materials, and create their own masterpieces in a supportive and creative environment.
Whether they're painting, sculpting, building or crafting, your children will enjoy making new friends and learning new skills with guidance from our experienced art tutors in our vibrant campus within our new Kids space.
 
With a different activity every day, your young artists will stay engaged, inspired, and create fun projects alongside other young creatives!
 
Perfect for ages 5-13 years, this programme is a great way to keep young minds active and having fun during the school break.
