Over at the Walker Art Gallery you can make a trinket box to hold all your treasures in (29-10 May and 1 June). The Craft and Design Gallery is full of wonderful ceramics, glass, metalwork, jewellery, furniture and musical instruments. It numbers around 100,000 items and covers three hundred years of history, from 1700 to the present day.
Another great place to visit outside the city centre is the leafy suburb, Mossley Hill where you can take in the sights and surroundings of Sudley House. Set in large grounds, this gallery is perfect for the little ones to explore a Victorian merchant house and then run around our beautiful gardens in the sunshine.
After all this half- term fun you might need to refuel. All our venues serve homemade sandwiches and cakes, they go well with a cup of tea for an afternoon treat.
