Summer holiday fun at DCA

We're beginning the holidays with our Summer Drop-in. Join our Learning team in Create Space where they'll take you through activities linked to our exhibitions and the family films in our cinemas. 

Create Space will also be open through the holidays with free activity sheets and art materials to enjoy, books to browse and toys to play with. Be inspired by Adrián Balseca's show In the Forest Ruins to add a leaf to our rainforest mural and make you own creative portrait, just like Francis Dosoo in his exhibition Portrait of Dorothy Gale. You can also try makes featuring characters from Toy Story 5, Minions & Monsters and Moana.

If you're after a more structured workshop, book Donate What You Can (£0-£8) tickets for Family Art Lab. This session includes a gallery visit and an introduction led by local artists.

Make a day of your visit with breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks at Jute Café Bar. 

The Children's Menu has reduced prices for the summer holidays and features some fun Toy Story 5 characters to colour in, a Minions spot the difference and a wordsearch to keep wee ones entertained.

All children's main meals include a carton of Rador fruit juice - pick from apple, orange, forest fruits or tropical. Download the menu below to find out what tasty treats are available and see what they have for grown-ups here.

If you're caring for a baby under 12 months, our weekly Bring a Baby screenings will continue throughout the holidays. Come and enjoy one of the best new films along with tea or coffee and a biscuit. 

We'll have a selection of family films during summer and older siblings are welcome to come along. Tickets for additional children are £5 (doesn't include refreshments).

There's space for prams and wriggly little ones, and a peaceful feeding and changing space if you need it. We're always happy to welcome in new film fans and their wee ones!
