Important Information
This event is designed for young people aged 11-14 to participate in independently but the museum is not in loco-parentis and participants remain in the care of their parent or caregiver throughout the event. Parents/caregivers are asked to stay on site and are encouraged to explore the rest of the museum.
During the Selfie Station workshop, young people are invited to use their own device to take a selfie. If you do not consent to being in someone else’s selfie, please let a member of Young V&A staff know and we will fully support this decision during the workshop.
Every young person attending must have a ticket. The event ticket covers access to all five workshops.
