Children's Corner
We have a variety of toys and activities in addition to our popular busy boards and books.
Build interesting structures with our new creative construction toys and see what your family can create.
Children's Guide
Inspired by our latest exhibition, Babak Ganjei: Thanks for Having Me - explore the gallery as a family with our children's guide. Learn more about the artist and his work as you follow the exhibition from room to room.
Our children's guide asks little one's how they'd create a self portrait and to create artwork inspired by the show.
Collect your free children's guide within the gallery or ask our friendly staff at the Tickets & Information Desk.
Our friendly team of staff are here to make your visit enjoyable and stress-free. Whether it's a trip to our cafe or playing hide and seek in our garden, visitors of all ages can find something to entertain them in our building.
Bluecoat Platform Benches
Located in our front courtyard are a series of colourful and fun benches designed by artists Simon & Tom Bloor.
"Brilliant, friendly staff and lots of fun for kids and adults."
