Discover Art in Context: Private Gallery Tours at Tate Modern for Children Sunday 12th October | 11:00 - 12:30pm | 10 years + Unlock the magic of art with your child through an exclusive, engaging tour of Tate Modern led by our tutor Elspeth. Designed for small, intimate groups, this experience nurtures young minds and sparks creativity as they explore captivating works in modern and contemporary art. Art Now: How We Got Here This tour explores how contemporary art styles developed.

Through discussion and interactive exploration, children gain a deeper understanding of the artworks, their history, and the techniques used. In this welcoming setting, your child will feel encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, and connect with art on a personal level—making the experience both educational and inspiring.
