Bluecoat Family Weekend

Adults and children take part in a craft activity around brightly coloured tables in a community workshop setting. Art supplies and materials are spread across the tables while participants work on creative projects, with additional activity stations and artwork displayed on the walls in the background.

Our popular Bluecoat Family Weekend returns this October! Join us for two days of FREE family-friendly activities celebrating the Bluecoat archive. Discover the stories, people and moments that have shaped the arts centre’s history, while exploring the archive’s transformation through The National Archives’ Archives Revealed programme.

The image has a muted green tone with visible crack-like lines running across the surface, giving it an aged, distressed appearance.
