Family Fun (5-10yrs): Flaming June and the Colour Orange
Saturday 20 June, 11am-12:30pm & 2:30-4pm
Join Hackney Herbal and take inspiration from Leighton’s celebrated painting Flaming June to explore the colour orange in nature in this family-friendly workshop. The workshop will connect and inspire children about plants growing around them and the natural world, helping them learn how to identify them and find out more about their uses, as they get planting and enjoy the fresh air outside in the beautiful museum garden. Adults will benefit from a workshop designed to promote wellbeing through gardens and nature.
Useful information:
- Family Fun workshops are designed for primary school children, age 5-10 years old.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult during the workshop - workshops are not drop-off and the accompanying adult must stay with their child.
- To avoid disappointment, please do not book tickets for children / siblings under 5, as they will not be able to participate. Additional family members accompanying younger siblings are welcome to enjoy our café and garden during the workshop.
- The workshops will take place in the Leighton House Learning Centre and might include access to the historic house.
- Accompanying adults (1x per child) come for free and admission to the historic house is included in the ticket price.
