Get hands-on with creative activities inspired by artworks and ideas at Kettle’s Yard.
No art experience needed — our friendly artists and volunteers will support you step-by-step. Children and adults of all ages are welcome to participate but Studio Sunday is most suitable for children between 3–11 years.
We encourage parents and caregivers to create alongside their children during the workshop. If the studio is busy you may be asked to come back later, but you can pick up our free take-home art activities at the desk to keep the creativity flowing.
At the Disability Friendly Opening, the museum will be open exclusively for families with children with sensory sensitivities. This event is aimed at children with special educational needs who usually find visiting museums overwhelming due to conditions that affect their sensory processing and/or have a developmental disability.
Join us for our Saturday opening and explore the history of science through our collection of microscopes, telescopes, and globes. Take part in family trails and visit our Learning Gallery, where you can engage with interactive handling boxes to discover topics such as Light & Sound, the Human Body, and Earth & Space.

Join us for some (trilo)bite-sized fun as we explore the earliest animals on Earth that evolved millions of years before the dinosaurs.
Meet Lara Uttinger, a scientist researching this ancient world, from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge. Chat with Lara about long-extinct animals unlike anything you might find today, and find fossil evidence of these animals in the Museum.
Investigate real fossils and use these to make your own trilobite replica fossil to take home.
