This event is free, Z-arts is a charity and while we are committed to keeping our events and activities low cost and many of our activities at our venue free, donations are gratefully received and can be made online when booking a ticket. Thank you!

Please also make us aware if you are no longer able to attend free event.

This helps us with understanding how many people to expect and also allows the chance for families to get tickets who haven’t already.

Just a quick heads-up – one of the lifts is currently out of order, affecting access to the lower ground and basement floors. Stairs are available, but we know this might be difficult if you’re bringing a buggy or have access needs, so we wanted to let you know in advance. We’ll keep you updated, but if you have any questions or need support, just get in touch – we’re happy to help!
