Song Explorers
Tuesdays
Sometimes people are worried about bringing their little ones to an art gallery in case they make a noise or they’re concerned that there won’t be anything there to interest them. Not at the Walker! This on-gallery session will introduce little ones to some of the Walkers collections through the use of rhythm, familiar songs, and rhymes. Come along and make some noise with us in this beautiful environment.
