What it’s like
Free art, garden and play sessions for different age groups, from under-fives to teens, with no cost to join in.
This one's built around a handful of regular sessions rather than one big draw, and which one suits you depends entirely on the ages you've got. Open Studio is the art project strand, Gardening Club does what it says, and Yard Play is pitched at 6 to 12 year olds who want something a bit more physical. If you've got a toddler, Romp Around is the one aimed at under-fives and their families, and there's Rumpus Queer Makers for 14 to 18 year olds too.
Everything on the list is free, and the site mentions an access or travel budget on top of that, which is a nice touch if cost or getting there has ever put you off a session like this. There's no booking link listed, so you'd want to go by whatever the programme says about turning up on the day.
The spread of sessions, from gardening to art to teen-specific makers groups, means this isn't really a single day out so much as a regular thing you might dip into depending on the week. Worth deciding in advance which strand matches your kid's age, since Yard Play and Romp Around aren't interchangeable.
