October half term fun at Abbot Hall

Address: Kendal, LA9 5AL
Venue: Abbot Hall
Website: https://lakelandarts.org.uk/events/october-half-term-at-abbot-hall/
This October half term, we invite you to join us at Abbot Hall for some nature-inspired fun! Let your imagination run wild and make your very own zine inspired by the theme of transformation. Add your creation to our temporary zine library or take it home to keep! This is a free self-led activity with resources available from the Coffee bar and Creative space. Join local musician Jack McNeill on Thursday 31 October and build an organic soundscape using natural materials, instruments, and your own creativity. Together, we’ll create an atmospheric audio world responding to the artworks in Gallery 8. Sessions will be running from 11am and 1:30pm. This is a ticketed activity – tickets coming soon! Embark on our brand-new Art Trail, encouraging curious minds to explore, observe, and respond to art in new ways. A perfect activity for all ages to deepen their connection with the gallery. Sketch, doodle, and leave your mark in our visitor sketchbooks as you respond to historic and contemporary works on display. Find out more at lakelandarts.org.uk.
