About

Join Gallery Educator and storyteller Fiona Alderton to discover the magic in the Gallery.

Fiona will lead you through a world of imagination and into one of our paintings. Using sensory objects, music and rhyme, children and their carers can engage playfully to support language development, communication and curiosity.

During sessions, children must be accompanied by a parent/carer.

After the session, you are welcome to enjoy your packed lunch in the Social Space in the Roden Centre for Creative Learning.
