Manchester Jewish Museum

This year we are once again offering a full-day Arts Award workshop to children visiting the museum during Half Term. Come along to a full day of creative activities and explore some beautiful art in our galleries and collection. Learn about the incredible work of Jewish artist, Beverley-Jane Stewart, whose new painting is currently displayed in the museum.

The workshop will also involve lots of hands-on activities, including sketching, collage, and print making. Over the course of the day you will complete a logbook, which you can take home with you. We will also post you your Arts Award Discover certificate after the session, which is an officially recognised qualification!

The workshop is designed for ages 6 – 13. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please only book 1 Adult ticket with each Child ticket as the capacity is limited.

There will be a lunch break during the day. You can book a vegetarian lunchbox from the museum’s Cafe with your ticket.

Please send any questions or dietary requirements to isaac@manchesterjewishmuseum.com
