Coffee with a curator These informal sessions held in The Wilson Kitchen café lounge area at lunchtime on the first Wednesday of the month (1.30pm-2pm) give you the chance to join one of our curators for a half hour chat as they introduce pieces from The Wilson’s extensive collections. From pottery and works of art to items that reflect the social history of the Cheltenham area, you’ll get to have a closer look at the objects as they are brought out of the archives. There will be a different object every month. Book a place for £3, which will include a complimentary tea, coffee or squash from the café. For details of the objects and subjects for each monthly session, see our Facebook and Instagram.

An artist led holiday club for 5-11 year olds who love to make, share and play. We will collaborate on engaging individual and group craft projects with a focus on nature, the world around us and free play to encourage creativity, language and expression within the arts. This informal holiday workshop will be fun and light, providing your child with the chance to express themselves artistically while making new friends and learning new skills. We will take a tour of the galleries, explore the works on display and (weather dependant) we will take a nature walk outside, so please supply a coat if you are happy for your child to join. Please note: • On sunny days we like to get outside! If you are not happy for your child to leave the building then please let us know at the time of booking. • Children aged 4 are only permitted to attend on a shorter day of 11-3 according to government safeguarding guidelines. If you book a 4 year old on to any of our holiday club days you will not be allowed to drop them off before 11am. • We may get messy! Please send your child in old clothes that you don’t mind them making and playing in, as we do occasionally use materials that may be harder to wash out. • Please pack your child a drinks bottle, so that they can help themselves through the day. Feel free to pack them a snack as well – exploring can be hungry work! • Children should bring a bag to help them carry home all their crafts and keep them safe through the day. All children will now need a packed lunch, there is no longer the option to add it to your ticket booking. However, ‘Arty’ lunch boxes will be available to purchase from the café on the day if you wish, with a 20% discount for Creative Explorers. Please note this is a drop-off session. The cost includes all materials.
