FREE Family Craft Drop-In invites you to create our future exhibition… Vespertine Garden!

Vespertine Garden is an ambitious new immersive installation exploring the hidden worlds of urban wildlife and the urgent need to protect the ecosystems we share.

Developed with children and young people in Bradford, the project invites audiences to experience the city’s overlooked nocturnal landscapes through the eyes of the creatures that emerge at dusk; like bats, hedgehogs, foxes, owls, moths and nocturnal plants.

We will set up a craft table for painting and sculpting plants and animals that will become part of our scenery. The materials are free, and the event is suitable for all ages – parents included!

This is a great way for kids to take some time to play and make, and for their creations to be exhibited collectively in the main gallery. Everything made in the workshop will be on display in the exhibition, so make sure to come back to the gallery to find your creations in the magical garden!

Please note – a guardian / adult should be with the children at all times.

We encourage you to book your free place here
