Free, drop-in

Join us for a summer celebration across Lister Park and Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, with a range of creative, nature and art-inspired and activities for all ages to enjoy!

Out in the park, families can pick up an activity map and explore the surroundings through a playful trail of sensory and nature-based challenges. There’ll also be drop-in yoga and movement sessions, hands-on planting activities, free henna designs, and opportunities to explore people’s memories of the park.

Inside the gallery, you can take part in an open portrait drawing workshop inspired by the Portrait of Mai, or join a mini gallery tour to discover more about the artworks on display. Free healthy refreshments, including Syrian-inspired snacks, will be available throughout the afternoon in the Learning Room.

All activities are free and drop-in, no need to book. Come along and enjoy an afternoon of creativity, exploration and community in the heart of our park.
