Join us for an exploratory workshop inspired by play and imagination. Talk, make and create with us.

Where does Play appear in your life? Both for you as an individual as well as with others – family or friends?

We would love to invite you to take part in a creative project, exploring how imagination and play shape our everyday lives—not just for children, but for adults too (this is a workshop for the whole family). Do you believe Play and Imagination still matter as we grow older? We’re curious to hear how they show up in your world to start the conversation.

Artists Abigail Hunt, Lucy McDonald and Matt Shaw are bringing together a new exhibition exploring Play and Imagination which will open at the gallery in April 2026. The exhibition will consider how important play is for all age groups. We would like your help to develop ideas and questions around what Play is and how important Imagination is for all of us, no matter our age or background.

The session is a drop-in so there is no need to book, though children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
