Summer Arts for Kids’ school holiday sessions are back
Join us for our artist-led creative programme for children, running throughout the school holidays.
Each week, a different Lead Artist introduces children to new art forms, materials and ways of thinking creatively, encouraging them to express themselves freely in a joyful and supportive environment. In these child-centred, hands-on workshops, participants are invited to explore, experiment and play.
Each session begins with a gentle start to help everyone settle in. Parents and guardians are welcome to stay for as long as needed to ensure their child feels safe and confident in the space.
Places are limited to 10 children per session, allowing for a supportive and engaging experience for every participant. We offer these workshops on a Sliding Scale basis to help ensure accessibility for all families.
If your child has any access needs you would like to discuss ahead of the sessions, please get in touch at visualarts@birnamarts.com. We are happy to work with you to make the experience as welcoming and inclusive as possible.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
Lovely wee cafe with amazing service. Been here 3 times now and always notice how friendly and upbeat the staff are. The coffee and cake is top notch also. Will definitely be back the next time I head to Dunkeld!
