Relax, play and have fun together in our Play Friday sessions for under 5s and their grown-ups. 

Each month, our Theatre of Curiosity space comes alive with a different mini-adventure developed specially for our youngest visitors. 

 

Next session - Friday 30 January, Mini Bristol​

Ever wanted to create your own band? Or build your own bridge? Come and play in this mini version of Bristol, sized down just for the little ones!​ 

Our Play Fridays are developed using the theory of schematic play to encourage open-ended exploration and help children learn about the world. This month is all about transportation.

 

Coming up:

Friday 27 February - Light and Shadow

Friday 27 March - Noodle Wonderland

Storytelling for under 8s also runs upstairs in the Studio at 11am.

 

Stay all day! Pre-schoolers and toddlers also love our parachutes, Build It area, giant bubbles, invisibility cloaks and much more.  

 

You can come and go as you please. Just hold on to your tickets to show the team when you come back.
