FAMILY ART FUN DAY: Make-Do and Make-New

Wed 30 May 12-2pm

Saturday 16 June 12-2pm

At Turf, 46-47 Lower Level Trinity Court, Whitgift Centre, CR0 1UQ // Free + Open To All

What materials could you gather in the shopping centre, and how could you make them useful in a new way? Could you use make-up to draw a map? A water pistol to send messages?

Using the shopping centre for inspiration, families will design and create their own toolkit for an imagined future.

This workshop is for children and their families to explore together! All ages and abilities are welcome. Make sure to book a free ticket in advance.

NOTE // We are now running the same Family Fun Day workshop twice per exhibition. Once on a Saturday, and once during school holidays. Please only book one of these dates, to allow as many families as possible to get involved!

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
