Art in the Park

Come and enjoy our Art in the Park free family fun day and picnic! The workshops are suitable for children ages 3 – 8 and will be held by the bandstand in Victoria Park in Frome. Booking is essential.

The plan for the day is:

11:00 – 12:00 Workshop 1, 2 and 3 running at the same time

12:00 – 13:00 picnic lunch (bring your own)

13:00 – 14:00 Workshops 1, 2 and 3 running at the same time

Your workshop choices are:

Workshop 1 Music Making – This workshop will include songwriting and drumming activities, plus the chance to explore and play a wide range of percussion instruments. Parents/carers come along with your children and have some fun enjoying music together. No previous music experience needed, just join in and have a go at making fun music together.

Workshop 2 Creative Art – Come and get stuck in with a variety of art materials available for you to try. In a recent study by the Lego Foundation 2022, 84% of children asked said they want to spend more time playing with their parents. Work together with your child to make something amazing to take home! The creative process can help calm, relax and support your mental wellbeing. It is also a really easy way to connect and have fun.

Workshop 3 Creative Story Telling – Help your child foster a love for reading and storytelling. In this workshop you and your child will have the opportunity to create your own hungry caterpillar using the materials provided. Collectively tell the story together using our creations and other story props. Everything made can be taken away, to encourage engagement with books and independence in story telling at home.

Join in some games to practise fun maths skills, matching and coordination skills. Playing and interacting with your children helps the development of positive connection, communication skills, building self-esteem, confidence and fun.
