About

Take your place at the family breakfast as we invite you to pass the tea with our Gallery Educator and storyteller Fiona Alderton. One lump of sugar or two? 

Choose your favourite breakfast options as Fiona shares stories of coffee and hot chocolate in paintings past, weaving together your ideas in this interactive story session. 

Join in familiar pretend play with quirky props and pictures at a tea party suitable for all the family. Families are welcome to stay and play a little longer after the session. 

Inspired by our free exhibition, 'TextDiscover Liotard and The Lavergne Family Breakfast.'
