🏆 FREE Discover Arts Award when your child completes all four days of a themed week
Professional holiday art camps for ages 6–14, where children develop real artistic skills, make friends and take home work they’re proud of. Taught by qualified art teachers, upstairs at Pictura on Eastgate Row.
Our Kids’ Art Camp runs every school holiday. Each camp day is packed with drawing, painting, clay and mixed media – big art projects, smaller creative activities, art games and challenges, with guided tuition from qualified art teachers and exciting take-home creations. Book by the day or save with a full-week booking.
Camp days are taught by qualified art teachers, not activity leaders. Each day is built around a main project with guided tuition, so children learn real techniques in drawing and painting, clay and ceramics, sculpture, mixed media and printmaking – then share their work in a gallery session at the end of the day.
