About this event
Make Play invites children aged 0-5 and their families to explore Constable's Garden, a brand new hands-on, immersive playscape inspired by John Constable’s painting: Golding Constable’s Kitchen Garden as part of Constable 250.
Booking is essential. These sessions are free to attend but spaces are limited. We have sessions at 10:00, 10:45, and 11:30. Book your place on the Colchester + Ipswich Museums website.
Children can wander, crawl, climb, and play in a playscape full of tactile surprises inspired by Suffolk landscape and heritage designed to engage the senses, inspire creativity, and support early learning.
These are free, open-ended play sessions, open to all families with children under 5.
