WORKSHOPS DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND AT HALF TERM The events listed here run twice a day, usually at 12.00pm and 2.30pm. However, depending on the numbers of visitors, we may run more (or fewer) workshops and the times may be changed to run later than shown above. These workshops usually last 35 to 50 minutes and are aimed at children between 6 and 12 (though all ages are welcome). Please ask for your tickets when you arrive as places are limited and are allocated on first come, first served basis. These events cost £1 per head in addition to the usual entrance charge.
