What

Bring your family along to Do Something Saturdays and kickstart your weekend with an hour of free and fun activities inspired by the immersive artworks on display in our galleries. From hands-on workshops to high-tech VR experiences, Do Something Saturdays is perfect for anyone who likes to make, game or play and is suitable for all ages.

From April to June, we will be looking to the stars taking inspiration from a new artwork by artist Ebun Sodipo. Currently on display as part of Let the Song Hold Us, Ebun has created an interactive website that lets you navigate through the night sky and discover constellations.

Ebun has made the artwork with a group of young people (The Cartographer’s Committee) - just like your family! The constellations act as a safe place to map the stories, songs, people and objects that are most important to you. After the constellations activity we will also be playing the game that our D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) group has been working on - a game created by young people for everyone to play.

Do Something Saturdays welcomes all young people with their accompanying guardians/parents. Some of the more technical activities such as using computer software and game building applications are suited for ages 7 up to 13. There will also be some more craft-based activities available for those who are younger than this, so the whole family can come along!
