Artist Lucy Hill will lead a workshop for 1 – 4 year olds. Children can try on soft sculptures she has made with Orla Langan and play in a sensory way, trying on unusual items and exploring their bodies.

This will be a quiet, relaxed space for adults and their babies and toddlers to hang out, explore materials and relax
