DADSTASTIC DAY - FREE family fun at Leeds City Museum

Come and join the biggest free Father’s Day party in England!

Dadstastic Day is a day of FREE family fun organised by Leeds Dads.

It's a great opportunity for parents and carers to interact with their kids.

Babies, toddlers, and children aged up to 11 yrs old can enjoy: music, dance, science, storytelling, arts and crafts, and sport.

You can learn to dance with Phoenix Dance, upcycle vinyl and turn records into art, jump and dance at the BoomChikkaBoom Baby Rave, and meet your favourite fairytale story characters.

There’s fun outdoors in Millennium Square with giant board games, pop up sports, disability sports, and Leeds Mobile Library, plus Mr Bubbles' giant bubbles - can you make a bubble float over Leeds Civic Hall?

You can create crazy carnival headpieces, or get into a fight with Lego dad-bots! Learn to plait your your children's hair with White Rose Beauty College – Leeds, and have 'A Musical Day with Dad' at Raise and Shine Storytime's family singing session.

The Gaming Manatee can show how to create your own board game to take home with you!
Fancy making "Squishy Circuits" our of conductive play-dough, LED lights and buzzers with Cyclops Pedal Power?

You can also send and receive secret messages using a BBC Micro:bit to programme Morse code and there will also be Litcraft and Sphero tech to explore. (Micro:bits will be available to loan to anyone with a library card!)
