We will also be leaving the walkway cleaner than we find it; with special litter grabbers provided! Scooters are a good idea for young ones who may find the walk a bit long. Please NO bikes!

We’ll wash hands and have snacks and something hot to drink
Draw, photograph and play in the grounds of the gallery
