Magic Acorns creates spaces where babies, young children, families and artists can flourish.

We run free sessions for 0-3s to explore materials, sound and objects in our multi-sensory space, hosted by specialist early years artists.

About us

Magic Acorns creates spaces where children, families and artists can flourish through the arts.
