Queens: The Exhibition Activities
When you've visited the stunning (and some might say... slay) Queens: The Exhibition, why not check out some of our activities around the building. There's something for everyone to enjoy!
Half-Term Highlights
The Book Nook
For young minds to read, reflect and chill out. A cozy nook filled with bean bags, inviting you to unwind and escape in a book or magazine. Or of course try a board game, puzzle, or colouring activity.
Little Lowry Kitchen
Designed for children under 7, it’s a place where imaginations take centre stage. Open alongside Pier Eight’s hours, it’s a haven for little chefs to cook up imaginary feasts while real-life refreshments can be purchased nearby.
Silent Disco Ball
Turn up the volume and groove to the beat at our free silent disco. Swing by The Queens Head, grab a pair of wireless headphones, and dance like nobody’s watching. Open to all ages and admission is free, but please be aware that space is limited. We’re open Saturday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm.
The Lookout
Bring your little Queen Bees to The Lookout for a host of self-led activities inspired by our new Queens exhibition. From dressing up to coloring and crafting, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our opening times are as follows: Tues – Fri: 11am -5pm, Sat-Sun and Bank Holidays: 10am – 5pm.
