Free Art Fun for all the family!

There are family events during school holidays and on some other days too.

Family events are a great way to find out about art and design in an enjoyable way and spend some creative time together. They are particularly aimed at 5-12 year olds, although many can be enjoyed by under 5s. All family events are free and there is no need to book unless specifically stated in the event details. Visit our website for details on forthcoming events and activities. Pushchairs

The V&A is spread over seven levels and a number of interconnecting buildings. The Museum map shows which routes are non-accessible for pushchairs due to steps, but please ask a member of staff if you need help at any time.

Both the V&A's Cafés are great for children, with a wide range of food for all tastes. High chairs are provided in the main café. Main meals are half-price for children under 10.
