Gallery Oldham
Art Bites, for children aged up to two.
Saturday, 10.30am to 11.30am
SATURDAY sessions for non-walkers are ideal for little ones who enjoy multi-sensory experiences and don’t mind getting messy.
Because of the success of its pilot Art Bites sessions, Gallery Oldham has launched a new permanent, monthly messy play sessions for babies.
Each session will include lots of messy play areas, so parents should dress for mess and bring a change of clothing. There are a selection of aprons available for parents, warm soapy water and lots of towels available too.
