Henry Moore Foundation - British Red Cross open day at Perry Green

If you haven't been to the Henry Moore Foundation in Perry Green yet, then you must go along to their British Red Cross open day on Sunday 10th July.
Set in beautiful open grounds around his recently renovated house, Moore's sculptures are a wonder of art and engineering. If you have small children, plan to stick to the outside areas and let them explore these beautiful, tactile artworks, some of which share a field with herds of sheep! Older children can enjoy learning all about Moore's techniques and processes in his wonderfully intimate studios.

Perry Green is situated near Much Hadham, between Bishops Stortford and Ware in Hertfordshire.

Summer art activities - Tate St Ives


If you're planning to visit St Ives this summer, you should check out the range of family activities on offer at Tate. Pre-schoolers can take part in 'Hands in Art', a weekly drop in creative session. 'Super Sundays' is a session for all the family. Best of all, the activities are free! Tate St Ives is situated right on Porthmeor beach. You can also follow the Barbara Hepworth trail at her studio in the town.
