Save the date

Once a month, find yourself exploring the remains of London's Roman Amphitheatre, hearing tales of Roman quests and gladiators, or creating crafts from the Victorian paintings surrounding you.

On the Second Saturday of every month, Guildhall Art Gallery invites families to enjoy a free day of creativity, discovery and storytelling inspired by the Gallery's collections. With a different theme every month, there's always something new to discover.

11am–4pm: Creative Activities

Get hands-on with a range of free drop-in activities designed for children and families. Each month features a new creative theme inspired by the Gallery, its artworks and London's fascinating history.

11am & 2pm: Story Time

Gather round for lively storytelling sessions full of imagination, art, creativity and tales inspired by London and the City.
