Mural Madness – 8 July – 19 July
Our school holiday programme is returning in July 2024 with Mural Madness!
We’re looking for young artists and those that just love to paint, glue, colour, cut – and have fun.
We’ve got an exciting week-long supervised programme devised to engage children’s creative minds. You’ll work together to develop designs, build creative skills, and have fun creating new, bright, colourful painted murals within the Public Programme space.
Each age group (5-8 year olds and 9-12 year olds) will work together to design and develop a new, bright eye-catching Air Force Museum mural in a variety of places throughout our revamped Public Programmes space over the two-week holiday period, with one mural per week being completed.
Bookings are essential with places limited to 20 children each day – you can book below using our booking engine.
