Free Family Workshops, Somerset House

"Possibly the best family art class in London..."

Free family workshops
Saturdays, 14.00-15.30

There are many delights in store for your family at Somerset House, and our creative workshops will help you discover them.

Workshops are devised by our dedicated learning team. Draw inspiration from the collections, exhibitions and magnificent architectural surroundings at Somerset House, then create your own masterpieces from what you learn.

Children aged 6 to 12 years and their families are warmly welcomed at our free Saturday workshops. Workshops begin at 14.00 and it takes an hour and a half to complete the activity.

Collect your free ticket at 13.00 on the day from the information desk in the Seamen's Hall. Spaces are limited, so tickets are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Please note: there will be no family workshop on Easter Saturday (22 March 2008).
