Art on Your Doorstep brings live artistic performance to Oakwell Hall Country Park with Simon Woolham, an artist known as The Frog. This is a chance for families to experience interactive art and performance in a beautiful outdoor setting, without needing to travel far or pay admission to a gallery. The event is designed to engage curious minds of all ages, whether your children are toddlers experiencing their first live performance or teenagers exploring creative expression.
Simon Woolham's interactive approach means this isn't about sitting quietly and watching from a distance. Families are invited to participate and engage with the artistic experience, making it a memorable and thought-provoking afternoon out. It's the sort of cultural activity that can spark conversations on the drive home and inspire creative play in the weeks after.
What to bring
- Waterproof jacket or umbrella, as April weather in the UK can be changeable
- Blanket or picnic mat to sit on if you want to stay for the performance
- Sunscreen and hats, as there may be limited shade depending on the performance location
- Snacks and water bottles to keep children comfortable during the event
- A notebook or sketchpad if your children like to respond creatively to art
Top tips
- Arrive early to secure a good spot and let children explore the park before the performance starts, which helps them settle and enjoy the experience more
- Check the weather forecast the day before and dress in layers, as outdoor performances can feel quite different from indoor activities
- If you have very young children or those who find new experiences overwhelming, position yourselves towards the back or side so you can easily leave if needed
- Bring a portable phone charger if you want to capture photos or videos, as outdoor events mean your battery may drain faster
- Ask the organisers in advance about the exact performance time and location within the park, so you know where to head and can plan your visit accordingly
