Family Activity at DCA

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

We host many fun activities for all ages at DCA, from film screenings and workshops, to free creative activities 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.

This month sees the final weekend of Discovery Film Festival 2025 and the first of our Family Art Labs inspired by our new exhibition: bone stone voice alone by Lauren Gault.

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.
