Summer Family Activities: Sounds Around

29 Jul-21 Aug 2025

Nottingham Contemporary
Nottingham NG1 2GB

Overview

It’s the summer holidays – and our popular family activities are back!

Come along to create, play, and explore in our large, welcoming space.

What do sounds look like? What do they feel like? Inspired by our current exhibition Your Ears Later will Know To Listen, you are invited to join us to create an enormous artwork together by turning everyday sounds into shapes, patterns and textures. Fill our space with colours that dance across the walls.

Our fantastic Play & Learn Facilitators will be on hand to guide you through the activities, with plenty of ways for you to explore and have fun!

As always, we’ll have relaxed areas set up with sensory toys and books to enjoy together.

The workshops are drop-in; however, we invite you to book a space for your session as spaces are limited.

The last week (19-21 Aug) will be a little quieter as we reduce capacity, lower the sounds and subdue the lights for those who prefer it a little more tranquil - we will be taking limited walk-in's this week too.

Our sessions take place on Tue, Wed & Thu, at the following times:

10am-12noon

1pm-3pm

Book one ticket per person, including adults and children.

If you are unable to make it on the day and need to cancel your tickets please get in touch, or if you would like more information or support in completing your booking please email [email protected] or call 0115 948 9750.

Free. Limited Capacity. Booking is required.

Make a Day of it, by visiting the Nottingham Central Library, for lots of free fun and it’s just over the road from us!
