Ever wondered what the sculptures in our grounds are thinking and feeling? These sessions might just help you find out!

Use the costumes and materials available to transform yourself into a sculpture for the day, and maybe take yourself for a walk around the grounds to see where you would be best placed.

Join us throughout our 2025 visitor season for ‘Family Encounters‘ drop-in making activities inspired by Moore’s work, designed to explore and create together.

Recommended for ages 5+ and their accompanying adults.
