More Info
Important Information:

There is limited space in the room and too many adults who are not participating in the workshop attending with participating children cause the space to feel crowded.

  • This can feel overwhelming for the participants and make it more difficult for the animator to ascertain which tables need assistance. 
  • The team recommend accompanying adults purchase a ticket to the Museum so that they can view exhibitions whilst their child is in the workshop.

The Cartoon Museum greatly appreciate your help with this.
