The Activity Packs can be collected from the Arts Centre or downloaded from our website. Bags filled with art materials are also available to borrow between our opening hours.

An Alternative Royal Street Party
Saturday 4 June 2022
11am–3pm
FREE family drop-in
In 2022, the artists Maddi Nicholson and Harold Offeh are both working in, and with the people of, Milton Keynes to explore the city: its neighbourhoods, streets and houses; and what it means to the people who live here.
To coincide with the Jubilee celebrations, families are invited to design a street party, but imagining yourselves as king or queen. You will be able to make your own bunting, design tablecloths for a feast, as well as choose your favourite food to be served. You will also be able to make your own badges, bearing your regal profile, to take away.
