Welcome to the colourful world of Big Art
Step into a world bursting with colour, creativity and fun! At Big Art, imagination is celebrated every single day.
Each term, Big Art comes to life in a big way, with dedicated moments like Big Art Week and the Big Art Comp, where young creators can explore, express and share their one-of-a-kind ideas.
Across After School Care and Rocketeers, children dive into bold themes, hands-on activities and plenty of messy, magical fun. From painting and building to crafting and creating, every experience is designed to spark curiosity and bring ideas to life.
Whether they love to paint, build, write or dream up something entirely new, Big Art is where every child can be fearless, curious and completely themselves.
What's on

The Magic of Stories: Connecting Through Imagination
Storytelling is more than just sharing events it’s about making meaning from our experiences. For artists, storytelling often happens through the creative process. Every brushstroke or sketch can tell a part of a larger narrative. As parents, tapping into this creative space with your child can be a fun and meaningful way to connect. When you use your imagination together, you create something far more than just a story, you build a shared experience that strengthens your bond.
