Celebrate Chinese New Year with creative family workshops led by Weave Yard, a local organisation dedicated to community cultural curation.

Children and families are invited to explore Chinese New Year traditions through hands-on arts and crafts, including lucky symbols, magic origami designing, and festive fans, and to join a joyful mini performance inspired by Chinese celebration culture. Designed to be accessible, welcoming, and inclusive for families of all backgrounds and abilities.

Weave Yard is a non-profit cultural platform dedicated to community curating and cultural empowerment. As a member of the Museums Association (UK), they work with individuals, families, and grassroots groups to co-create exhibitions, workshops, and creative projects that weave everyday stories into shared cultural expression. By supporting communities to develop curatorial skills and tell their own stories, Weave Yard helps reimagine heritage as participatory, inclusive, and shaped by diverse voices.

There are 3 sessions throughout the day: 11.00-12.00, 13.00-14.00, 14.30-15.30.

Please make sure to arrive on time. The museum allows a 10-minute grace period for late arrivals. After this point, they cannot guarantee admission to the activity.

This workshop is suitable for ages 5-13.
