They’ll learn calming techniques and simple tools, celebrate their unique strengths and leave feeling a little braver, a little brighter and ready to shine.

Children’s Treasure Hunt

Summer is the perfect season to discover nature’s hidden treasures. We’ll explore the hedgerows and fields close by, getting up close to the natural world as we take part in a fun scavenger hunt. Along the way, we’ll develop our observation skills by paying close attention to our surroundings and noticing the little things we might have otherwise overlooked. Ideal for little ones under 10.

The Touring Imaginarium: Fragments from BirdWorld

The Imaginarium, created by Imaginellie, is a mysterious place where fragments from imagined worlds occasionally appear -lost letters, curious artefacts, strange discoveries and stories waiting to be explored.

In this immersive workshop, participants will investigate a collection of fragments from a remarkable place known as BirdWorld. Together we’ll examine clues, ask questions, share theories and imagine what might lie beyond the evidence before creating our own discoveries to add to the growing Imaginarium Archive.

Part mystery, part storytelling adventure and part creative workshop, this experience invites curious minds to wonder, imagine and create.

No artistic experience required – just curiosity and a sense of adventure. With Ellie Scanlan.
