Art Baby is a sensory play session specially designed for the gallery’s youngest visitors. Suitable for non-walking babies and their grown-ups, these workshops help to develop your baby’s physical and social skills.

Spend quality time with your baby as you meet and chat to other parents and carers.

Welcoming and supportive, the gallery understands that the little things can make a big difference to a day out with babies, toddlers, or preschoolers. As a result, you’ll find everything you might need on your visit – from buggy parks to free nappies and wipes.

Sessions take place on the first Friday of every month.
