Void Tots

Void Tots are relaxed and fun messy play sessions with artist Sinead Crumlish for children aged 1-3 years old at Void Art Centre.

 

Our next Void Tots sessions will be on Saturday 30th September. Book a spot by visiting our website at www.derryvoid.com to come along and get messy with your little ones!

 

* Please note that, due to space restrictions, one parent per child is advised. Parents or guardians are welcome to take other children along but they will be asked to remain seated in the gallery foyer or they can visit the exhibition. We also have our popular Drawing Booklets which older children can sit and engage with – just ask one of our staff.

 

* We also ask that the attending parent please ensure both adult and child are wearing old clothes! We provide large shirts for parents to put over their clothes and we also have a large bathroom with changing facilities if you need to change clothes for baby and parent afterwards.

 

£3 per child

These relaxed, fun sessions with artist Sinead Crumlish are always a hit with children aged 1-3 years old. Come along and get messy with your little ones!

 

For our current exhibition (4 March-3 June), we will be running our two Tots sessions from the slightly earlier time of 9:30-10:15am and 10:30-11:15am; we hope that this will better accommodate little ones’ nap times. Please do let us know what you think and if you would prefer us to retain these times going forward.
