Family Friendly

We want to make it as easy as possible for you and your children to enjoy the arts and for you to feel confident when you visit us with your family.  We are enthusiastic supporters of the Family Arts Standards and are always looking for ways we can improve the experience of our younger visitors and their adults.

Things to Do

We run events for children of all ages throughout the year, with a particular focus on activities during school holidays. These events are featured on our website and you can find all family-friendly events via the link HERE

We’ve got lots to fire up young imaginations all year round. Our Allsop Gallery hosts around 12 different exhibitions throughout the year and is free to enter – so why not pop in with the kids?

How do I know if it’s suitable for my children?

We try and indicate the target age range on events for children and young people. Some events have a suggested age range, for example, 5-8 years. This doesn’t mean that children of other ages won’t enjoy it – it just hasn’t been designed exactly with them in mind!

Baby Changing

For your convenience, our baby changing station is located in the Accessible Toilet, adjacent to the café.

Pushchairs

The theatre, baby changing area and toilets are all fully accessible via the ground floor. The Allsop Gallery is accessed via stairs or a platform lift that regrettably is not suitable for pushchairs.  There’s plenty of room for you to leave your pushchair or pram in the area by the entrance or near the Bar area. We can accommodate up to four pushchairs at a time.
