1, 2, 3, 4 Museums for Play and Growth” are free drop-in sessions designed for children 0–5 years old. On every second Friday of the month, you can bring your little ones to Cartwright Hall to explore the art, learn something new, and have a fun time.
The session includes an interactive gallery tour tailored for the little ones, a creative play zone to spark imagination, and engaging art activities, offering you and your child up to two hours of quality time spent in the museum. When the session ends, you can stay in Cartwright Hall to see other artworks that awoke your child’s curiosity or continue your play in Lister Park.
