Paint in colours of blue, red, yellow and green with various brushes and rollers.

Join us at the start and end of the summer holidays for some printing activities inspired by nature. Drop in and play with recycled materials and paint to create your nature inspired print. We’ll have some of our nature themed art collection for you to be inspired by or look out the window into the park for ideas! This may get messy!

We’ll provide the materials; you just need to bring your creativity and an adult to help you.

These sessions are drop-in and there is no need to book. If the room is full when you arrive, please check back later in the day. We are unable to reserve places.

Please note: On 26 July, the capacity for this event will be smaller than usual due to the Love Parks event also taking place.
