Hands-on science, crafts, stories and talks for the whole family. A day of learning together in Manchester.
Children learn best when they are curious, active and having fun, and they learn even more when the grown-ups join in. The Family Learning Festival turns a Saturday into a day of discovery for the whole family.
Move between activity zones at your own pace: try a science experiment, make something to take home, listen to a story or pick up practical ideas for learning at home.
Drop-in activities all day, with something for toddlers, children and teenagers.
Experiments, puzzles and making activities that turn questions into discoveries.
Practical, friendly ideas for supporting learning at home, plus time to join in.
Activities to enjoy together, from toddlers to grandparents. Children must be with an adult.
Take away simple activities and resources to use in the classroom or at the kitchen table.
Timings are a guide and may change.
Teachers, students and anyone who enjoys working with families: we would love your help on the day.
