Join Guthrie the Goose for our monthly adventure in art. Each session is different, with music, dance, crafts, games and playful surprises to spark young imaginations. 8 July  - A Day at the Beach  We’ll explore artworks inspired by the coast, using movement, songs and simple games to splash, scoop and drift like waves. A perfect session for sensory play and creative exploration. 12 August  - Tea Party  You’re invited to Guthrie’s very special tea party! We’ll bring the gallery to life through storytelling, role-play and playful movement. Expect songs, games and plenty of make-believe as we pour, stir and share together. 9 September - Clouds Inspired by artworks full of light and air, we’ll look up, stretch high and float gently through this dreamy session. Using soft materials, movement and stories, we’ll explore different kinds of clouds and how they move and change. 14 October - Afterglow Join Guthrie for a calm and cosy exploration of colour and light. We’ll discover artworks inspired by sunsets and gentle evening light, using slow movement, soothing sounds and simple creative play to relax and reflect together.
