Family Station: Chelsea Physic Garden Pop-up

Chelsea Physic Garden will be hosting free drop-in seed exploration sessions all day to inspire your little gardeners with the textures and shapes of the natural world.

The Family Station, located on the Upper Ground Floor, includes creative resources full of ideas to explore, make and play in the Library. Start your family adventure here, then go off and explore our pop-up activity.

What is the Family Station?

• it is completely drop-in, so arrive anytime between 11.00 and 15.00 and stay for as long as you like. You’re welcome to arrive, leave, and come back whenever suits you best. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times
• while our Learning Assistants will be onsite, Family Station is completely family-led and informal. Meaning you can play, read and explore as a family, and help yourself to our various creative resources
• there will be fun sensory items out to play with, a pop-up reading corner with braille and tactile editions and art materials to experiment, draw and build
• you can also borrow specially designed trails to explore the wider Library through your senses and enjoy playful interactions with our building and collection
• the Family Station is fully accessible and suitable for children with SEND
• the Family Station also runs on select school holiday dates.
