Summer at DCA

We've got two fantastic family films coming up – Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4. Both feature all-star voice casts, stunning animation and hilarious adventures that kids of all ages can enjoy. We've got special ticket prices for family groups of three and four, as well as concessions for students, seniors and under 21s too.

Plus, check out our Discovery Family Film Club screening Kensuke's Kingdom, a castaway adventure based on the book by Michael Morpurgo. Discovery Family Film Club film tickets are Pay What You Can, so you can choose your price, from £0 to £8, and there's a Relaxed showtime available too, for anyone who would benefit from more consistent sound and lighting, and the freedom to move around in the cinema space.

It's free to drop-in to our colourful Create Space, a flexible, comfortable and imaginative place where people of all ages can see, think, make and do. You'll find art materials and activities inspired by the exhibitions in DCA Galleries. 

Come in and make your own art to display on the walls or take home with you. You can also relax on our comfy sofas with a range of children's books that relate to the themes of the exhibition. 

If Create Space is closed when you visit, you can find a selection of activity sheets and materials on our Art Cart which is located nearby in the Information Space. 

Take a look at what's on to find out our current opening times or check here for future dates.

Sukaina Kubba's exhibition Turn Me Into a Flower is open from Wed – Sun from 11:00 until Sun 4 August, and features hanging artworks filled with shapes and techniques that are sure to engage and inspire. 

Our friendly Visitor Assistants can show you the Sensory Box, where you can feel samples of the various materials used in Sukaina's work too. Eco-friendly plastics, papers, stitching, printing and even coloured markers – there are lots of materials that will be familiar to young artists, so you can have fun creating your own Sukaina-style art in our Create Space or at home.
