Families

THG welcomes families and is signed up to the Family Arts Standards and the Kids in Museums Manifesto. We welcome families and to help you enjoy your experience we are committed to ensuring we meet these Standards. As we continue to improve our service for families your views are very important to us – so please let us know if you have a good experience with us or tell us what you’d like us to improve.

Family activities accompany each exhibition. Come and enjoy our ever popular Learning Room, packed with art and craft materials to inspire budding artists. You can choose whether to take your finished artwork home or display it in the gallery.

Please visit our WHAT’S ON calendar to see what is happening on the day of your visit or sign up to our newsletter for updates.
