Together We Play: Family Workshop at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield 18 February 2017 Entrance is free

Inspired by the Tread Softly exhibition, explore, play and experiment together through a series of creative games, involving paint, mess and lots of laughter. What happens when you stop worrying about how to do something and just have a go at doing it? This playful workshop is run by West Yorkshire’s Uncanny Theatre who make visually arresting comedy theatre and create special effects out of everyday objects.
