Special Events for Children and Families

For the past year we have been running a series of Free family workshops with Newark artist Danusia Sawoscianik-Murray. The workshops are funded by The Arts Council.
Workshop themes are inspired by the museum, art gallery and our Georgian building. Parents and grandparents are welcome to join in with the activities. The next one, in August, is the last in the series. See our 'Workshop Gallery' below for a selection of work. |
