Sparky Saturdays: Inspired by Nature

Lots of our homeware designs have been inspired by plants and animals. Create a new pattern and custom stencils for a homeware range, with nature as your starting point.

Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition, enjoy a cuppa and create your own bouquet inspired by the collection.

You can also browse our dressing-up rails, try the Percy Trail and go shopping in the Penny Bazaar!

Free light refreshments included, or bring a packed lunch and use our indoor picnic space.

Have a look at our Family Visits page to find out more about getting here and what to expect.

Booking details: No need to book, just drop in – it’s all free!
