The school break is nearly here and Tŷ Pawb has a week full of family friendly fun in store – starting this weekend!

You’ll notice many of the activities below have a certain textile/fabric theme to them.

This is to coincide with our two new exhibitions which open this weekend – Julie Cope’s Grand Tour: The Story of A Life By Grayson Perry and Uptwist Downtwist.

Don’t forget to pop into the gallery and take a look while you’re here!
