Family Activity at DCA

We host many fun activities for families at DCA, from film screenings and workshops, to free creative activities for all ages and online resources. To make it as easy as possible for you to plan your family trip, our monthly calendar brings everything together in one place.

The first weekend in November marks the final weekend of 2024's Discovery Film Festival. We've packed it with shorts for Wee Ones and Families, fantastic feature films, Discovery Art Cart and creative workshops. Chosen by our Discovery Young Ambassadors, Sisterhood is a powerful film about friendship and identity, and will be followed by a Creative Banner Making workshop. The Walk is another film that has inspired a special workshop - join us for a special Puppetry Workshop: Exploring Solidarity Through Puppet Making.

November also sees Messy Play and our Bring a Baby screenings return, plus we have the final Family Art Lab inspired by Claudia Martínez Garay's exhibition, and Paddington in Peru hits our screens.

If you're coming along to DCA to enjoy some family activity, don't forget that you can extend your visit with lunch in Jute Café Bar (you can even colour in the kids menu) and a trip to our shop.
