Family Activity at DCA

Find out what's on for families during August and download our Family Activity Calendar

We host many fun activities for families at DCA, from film screenings and workshops, to free creative activities for all ages and online resources. To make it as easy as possible for you to plan your family trip, our monthly calendar brings everything together in one place.

It's the final few weeks of the summer holidays and we've big screen adventures and creative activities to keep you entertained. And the fun doesn't stop when the schools go back - Soundplay Projects return with a slightly different format and Messy Play and Drop in and Play are back.

If you're coming along to DCA to enjoy some family activity, don't forget that you can extend your visit with lunch in Jute Café Bar (you can even colour in the kids menu) and a trip to our shop, which stocks some great toys, books and pocket money friendly games.

Download our Family Activity Calendar below, where you'll find dates and times for all of our upcoming events as well as the opening hours for Create Space. You can also scroll down to book for some of our highlights.

Workshops and events

From support with feeding babies and fun with paint and sound for wee ones to virtual reality experiences for ages 8+ and the chance to try out new games at Drop in and Play x DARE Academy for ages 10+, there are lots of events and workshops to get involved with this month.

In the cinema

Our Discovery Family Film Club screening of Alice in Wonderland (1951) is sold out but there are still some spaces for our Relaxed screening.

The big screen fun continues with Savages, a beautiful stop-motion animation from the director of My Life as a Courgette, and action-packed animated sequel Bad Guys 2.
