Join us for some fun drawing workshops this October half-term! Places on all workshops are limited, so advance booking is essential.
Workshops are for children aged 8-14 and cost £12 per person attending.
Any children attending 2 separate sessions at the museum on the same day must be collected at lunchtime so the classroom can be made ready for the afternoon workshop.
For any enquiries, please email learning@cartoonmuseum.org
