Join us on the first Saturday of each month to take part in our exciting and varied creative sessions for children and their grown-ups

Please note these sessions are designed for children aged 4+ and their adults. We strongtly advise following the age recommendation, as younger children may not be able to fully access the workshop. 

“The workshop was excellent. The practitioner’s energy and enthusiasm was contagious as all of us were singing, acting and laughing with him. We are so glad that our child could experience a vibrant and passionate way of telling tales. We love the new ABC song we learnt at the workshop and use it as a positive affirmation in our day to day lives.”
Parent Comment

“The session felt varied with the indoor and outdoor planting, decorating pots and participatory story. Great job Polka!…Staff definitely go out of their way to make visitors feel welcome. ”
