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

Design and build your own mini house or DCA building with our architecture activity sheets and get imaginative with the contents of our See, Think, Make, Do bags. Our art library for children is also there for you to browse and the Play Box is 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.
