About the event:
Designed for children of all ages, these free drop-in art workshops are led by our learning team and include nature-themed drawing and craft activities inspired by the Chatsworth Parkland.
Each session has been designed to encourage children to develop their creativity, imagination, self-expression, and observational skills, as well as deepen their understanding and relationship with the natural world.
All materials will be provided. Please be aware that Art in the Park is predominantly outdoors in all weather conditions, so suitable footwear and clothing is recommended.
As each session is free to attend no advance booking is available. Children of all ages are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
If you have any questions regarding accessibility, please email education@chatsworth.org
Please note, a car park ticket is required if you plan to visit Chatsworth by car. Why not consider travelling by public transport? Find details of local bus routes and train services here.
