October half term: build a boat adventure play
As part of the Moomins’ 80th anniversary, families can join an unforgettable hands-on experience at Coventry Charterhouse, helping to build a Moomin inspired adventure play boat with Woodland Tribe.
This October half term, join us at the Charterhouse to celebrate 80 years since Tove Jansson’s first book The Moomins and the Great Flood was published.
In collaboration with Moomin Characters and Counterpoint Arts, Woodland Tribe will lead this exciting activity in the historic walled garden at the Charterhouse.
Over the course of each day children will help build a Moomin inspired boat, which featured heavily in the Moomin books, as well as take part in a range of Moomin themed craft activities to take home. Each 75 minute session is a lively mix of hands-on building using real tools (including hammers, saws and nails!), creative making and playing.
Woodland Tribe are the UK masters of constructive play, with sold out residencies at Tate Modern, Southbank Centre and major UK festivals.
This unforgettable family activity is not to be missed! Book early to avoid disappointment.
Both adults and children need a ticket. Standard admission fees apply. Free for National Trust members.
Please note:
- Standard admissions charges apply to non-members on arrival.
- Please meet at Visitor Reception, and you will be guided to the activity space.
- Please wear suitable outdoor clothing.
- Please see the access page on our website for our full accessibility statement.
- Recommended for children age 6-12 years old.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult (maximum of 3 children per adult).
- Each session begins with a short safety briefing. For safety reasons, it’s important to attend this.
