Useful expectations and practical guidance in one place

What children can see and do

Families can attend listings explicitly marked for all ages or children and take part in bookable creative activity when offered. Expect the family experience to use the same visitor route as the general visit unless the current programme advertises a separate workshop or guided session.

Age guidance

No fixed age band is stated for the whole venue. Match the visit to the child's interest and attention span, and check dated workshops for their own minimum age or school-year requirement.

Practical information

Check the current event's age guidance, access, price and booking status before travelling. Useful confirmed facilities include Wheelchair accessible throughout, Public lift to all floors and Visitor toilets; consult the amenity details for limitations and exact access. Check the official admission channel for family prices, dated capacity and whether children still need a zero-price ticket.
