The Harley Gallery’s popular art and craft sessions, ‘Hands on Holidays’, designed to inspire creativity in children, are on hand to keep the kids entertained during the summer holidays.
Taking place on Wednesdays throughout the school holidays, on the Welbeck estate near Worksop, children will learn basic hand skills and how to look more closely, through experimenting with colours, textures, cutting, constructing and drawing.

Led by the Harley’s Education and Engagement Manager, Dayle Green said: “Finding activities to keep the kids busy throughout the summer holidays can always be so difficult. Our one hour workshops are always very popular, encouraging creativity in children as young as four. What’s more, they get to take home their work at the end of the session.”
