Important information

> Workshops are led by a member of the Education Team and are structured learning sessions that include elements of group work.

> We want to accommodate as many children as possible in our workshops, so we prefer not to exceed a 1:1 ratio for adults to children.

> For charged activities prices apply for all children attending (including older or younger siblings).

> Please bear in mind that workshop/show/tour content might not be engaging for children older or younger than the suggested key stage, and restless behaviour can impact the enjoyment of others in the audience. Please consider this when booking older or younger children into sessions.

> Please arrive at the specific location of your activity 10 minutes before the session is due to start, we can’t admit late arrivals as it disrupts the session.

> Bringing a packed lunch? We have a covered picnic area available for you to use throughout the day. Alternatively, the Harbourside Kitchen café will be open 8:30am-4:30pm.
