Walker Art Gallery: Big Art for Little Artists
Timeslots available between 10.15am – 4.45pm
Big Art for Little Artists is a dedicated children’s gallery at the Walker Art Gallery, designed for children aged 0-5 to enjoy with their parents/grandparents and all carers.
This colourful, interactive gallery hosts costumes, toys, books, games, paintings, sculptures, and objects for children to explore. The space has a variety of areas for different interests, allowing our youngest visitors to learn through creative play and discovery.
For craft lovers, there are also rotating themes each week with materials provided, so children can get inspired and create something different each time they visit.

10:15-11
