Families

There’s lots on for families at the Harley Gallery and Portland Collection museum.

Enjoy family workshops, gallery trails and hands-on craft activities when you visit the Harley Foundation. Many of our activities are free and drop in.

Harley Gallery

Get up close to our exhibitions with free gallery trails or get hands-on with free exhibition-themed activities in the Creative Space. Our Creative Space is open every day (except when the galleries are closed) and with no booking required it’s the perfect place to relax with some creative crafts. Please note, children must be accompanied by an adult at all times while in this space.

Harley Museum

Look out for child-friendly fun facts throughout the exhibition and make a real-life portrait with our free family activity wall in the foyer.
