PLAY Days are sessions especially dedicated to the under 5s and their grown-ups.

For these sessions, the gallery spaces will be full of huge tubes and pipes, big boxes, crates, large reels, tyres, and lots more, creating a world of exploration and play.

Sessions take place on the second Friday of every month.
