Summer Show Family Day 2017

From 11am until 3pm on the first day of our Summer Show 2017, we will be offering a variety of creative activities for children aged 4-10 to enjoy with their parents or guardians, including a treasure-hunt around our exhibition or building and decorating their own card house.

Our café will be open throughout the event selling a range of refreshments for children and adults.

The Bartlett Summer Show is a celebration of our student’s work and is one of the world’s biggest architecture degree shows. Almost 700 architecture students will present a range of inventive, creative and visual work, from models and drawings to films, multimedia installations and computer fabrications. Our Family Day provides the ideal opportunity for parents and guardians to enjoy the exhibits with children.

Please note, children remain the responsibility of their parents or guardians throughout our Family Day and parents or guardians must be present at all times.
