Tate Britain - Family activities



You don’t need to be an expert to look at or talk about art. Don’t feel you have to ‘get it’ to enjoy it.

We encourage young people to explore art and have the following additional activities for families:

Play Studio 

A space for families to explore and test out ways of making and playing together linked to the new collection displays.

Open every weekend and Fridays during term-time, and open every day during school holidays 10am-5pm.

Find out more on the website

Tate Draw 

See your drawings come to life using our digital sketch pads at Tate Britain. 

Open Monday-Sunday 10am-6pm 

Find out more on the website.

Story Space

A place for all to read, imagine, play and create. Read aloud sessions usually happen on the 1st Saturday of the month at 2pm. For more information visit the website.

Open every weekend and Thursday during term-time and every day during the school holidays.
