Mini Makers at the Museum is a February half term programme of new and exciting family friendly sessions at the Gosport Museum and Art Gallery
Inspired by the Museum’s Colour exhibition, Mini Makers invites children and their grown-ups to explore colour through relaxed, hands-on creative activities. Each session links gently to exhibition themes, encouraging curiosity, imagination, and calm creative focus. Parents remain with their children throughout.
These creative half-term workshops are for children aged 4–10 and their families
Parents and carers must remain with children, dressed appropriately for a messy play
