Calling all under 5s and their grown-ups for our first Toddler Takeover since 2020!

On Friday 13 September, we'll be running 'Fantastic Feast', a special event for little ones that's all about food.

With no school groups around, it's a chance for younger ones to have the exhibits to themselves and join in with some wonderful activities we've developed for this age group.

Make a tasty fruit and vegetable salad in the Kitchen, take a tour around our toddler supermarket and get creative with different food shapes in our 'Atelier Penne' (and let us clear up the mess!).

We'll be running story time and our under 6s Planetarium show ' Spin the Spaceship' at various time throughout the day as well, so there'll be plenty to keep curious little minds busy.

Come and play!

Tickets and info: https://bit.ly/3YHQJBR

Toddler Takeover runs from 10am to 3pm, special ticket prices apply.

At Raised In we’re deeply saddened by the recent racist riots in Bristol. We stand against all forms of racism, discrimination and intolerance and as educators seek to teach the children in our care to embrace and celebrate all cultures, backgrounds and religions.

We stand in solidarity with everyone impacted by the recent appalling events in the city and across the UK, especially those from minority ethnic backgrounds.
