Join the performers of Joan and the Dragon for a session full of movement, creativity, and fun.

Explore characters, try playful circus-inspired activities, and celebrate the joy of being unapologetically yourself. Or run away with the circus… just for a day!

This workshop is designed for children to enjoy independently. Parents and carers, feel free to relax in our lovely cafés or explore our galleries while the kids get creative.
