This early session is specifically for children who would benefit from a quieter environment in The Box's Learning Room. We will open the doors early to a maximum of 18 people and will provide a relaxed environment to take part in our craft activity before the door opens to the public at 10.30am.

  • The activity on Thursday 29 May will be using clay to create sea creatures from the future inspired by the work of artist Sonya Dyer and The Box's preserved marine animal collection.
  • The activities on Thursday 7 and 21 August will be inspired by the 'Forbidden Territories: 100 Years of Surreal Landscapes' exhibition.

As spaces are limited, please book your space if you'd like to attend!

In case you can’t make this early session, the same free activity will take place in the Learning Room from 10.30am-12.30pm and 1.30-3.30pm on the same day. These drop in sessions are often noisy and busy, particularly in the mornings and straight after lunch, but later in the afternoons they are usually quieter.

Please note: All under 18s needs to be accompanied by an adult during family activities on site. Please ensure that you book a ticket for every person attending and not just for the child(ren).
