Create Space

Duration: Times vary
Dates: Fri 30 Jan - Sat 28 Feb 2026

Free, drop-in

Create Space is a flexible, comfortable and imaginative space; a space in which people of all ages can see, think, make and do.

Create Space will reopen on Sat 7 February with new activities inspired by our new exhibition We Contain Multitudes. You'll also be able to browse the books in our art library for children and spend some time in the Play Box, a small, safe play space for very wee ones and their grown-ups. 

If Create Space is closed when you visit, you can find a selection of activity sheets and materials on our Art Cart which is located in the Information Space. You can check the opening times for Create Space below.
