Kirkstall Abbey has some money from the Happy Museum Project to look at ways of making people feel happy. One of these ways is trying something new and learning new skills.
All Happy Museum sessions are free but we do ask that you help us to evaluate them; this might be by filling in a survey or if you are under 5 by singing as loud as you can!
Active Story Time every Tuesday in March 11-11.45 am.
Fun stories with lots of movement and a healthy snack inspired by the story. This session is designed for children 2+ but younger siblings are welcome too.
Free. No booking required. Just come along.
Multi-sensory Singing for Under 5’s every Wed in March & Wed 2 April 10.45-11.30am. Fun and interactive singing session for parents and children under 5.
Free. No booking required. Just come along.
Yoga taster session for adults Tues 22 & 29 April 2.45-3.45pm

Sculptural Art Sessions for adults with learning difficulties with Pyramid of Arts.
We will be working with an artist to explore ways of feeling happy through sculptural art techniques inspired by the abbey. Places are limited and registration is on a first come, first served basis. The project will take place in the afternoons from 1.00pm to 3.00pm on Wednesday 12th, Friday 14th, Wednesday 19th, Friday 21st and Wednesday 26th March 2014.
