Our Summer Art Camp at Maltings at Hide Hill is packed with imaginative, hands-on workshops designed for children aged 5–10 years. From sculpting clay creatures to designing underwater worlds, each session encourages creativity, confidence and plenty of messy fun.
These drop-off workshops are led by our experienced creative team, giving children the chance to explore new materials, make friends and take home something they’ve created themselves. Each session runs from 9am–12.30pm and costs £25 per child, per workshop.

Wednesday 12 August – Kite & Mobile Making
Friday 14 August – Clay: Monsters, Heroes, Beauties & Beasts
