Creative Play for Under-5s

2 Jun 2025

10:00 - 12:30

The Beacon at Bowling Park

Toddlers and their grown-ups can get arty at this special creative morning – presented as part of Our Patch, Bradford 2025’s free community creativity programme.

It all takes place at Bowling Park in The Beacon, our unique touring venue, and it’s completely free – just turn up on the day.

Littl’uns are welcome to take part in two different activities – one inside The Beacon and the other outdoors in Bowling Park (weather permitting).

DRAW! Workshop
Join a local artist inside the Beacon for a fun, hands-on drawing and craft session for families with young children – presented as part of DRAW!, our nationwide drawing programme supported by David Hockney. We’ll be encouraging little ones to explore art through playful, age-appropriate activities.

Messy Play Adventure
Better Start Bradford invite you to a fun session of sensory play. Squishing, pouring and experimenting sparks curiosity and supports early learning through open-ended, hands-on activities. It’s the perfect way for little ones to explore and grow – and get very messy in the process!
