Toddler Takeover takes over Z-arts every Friday during term time, filling the building with free activities for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers and their grown-ups. The Lower Atrium is set up with toys, bean bags, Duplo, tubes and more, while arts and crafts activities are laid out for little ones to explore at their own pace throughout the morning and early afternoon.

The highlight of the morning is Toddler Make and Believe — a creative session running at 10.30am and 11.30am which requires booking in advance. Bookings open one week before each class and can be made online, by phone or in person at Z-arts.

The Z-café is also open on the day, with a coffee and cake discount available for visiting families — making it a lovely way to round off the morning. Baby and toddler-friendly facilities are available throughout the building.
