Culture for Kids
The Ark
Why locals love it
In a city not known for its excellent weather finding things to do with children of a certain age can be hard going. The Ark is a unique venue which allows children to explore the creative arts often in a hands on way.
Why you should visit it
There is an ever changing series of events, some require pre-booking, so check their website to see what is on at the time of your visit. All events are well thought out so as to be suitable for specific age brackets - a 4 year old won't have the same interests as a 10 year old as any parent will know only too well.
Special tip
The website has a 'watch and make' section so you can try out some of the activities at home after your visit
