The Art Gallery
An arts venue with a difference. It’s a drop-in centre for children to experiment with art and explore their creativity. There are organised sessions for toddlers and older children and more advanced workshops and arts clubs where kids can get messy with paint and learn new creative arts and crafts skills.
