The Sculpture Gallery First Thursday - Eric Moss

Please come and join us on Thursday, 4th July when we’ll be hosting our usual First Thursday of the Month meet-up, with drinks between 5:30pm and 8:30pm. It’s our pleasure to welcome Eric Moss as our latest Guest Artist, a ceramic artist from Harrogate who creates unique ‘Ceramicano’ assemblies - geometric sculptures inspired by both the natural world and industry. Made in a range of clays and other materials, this work is supplemented by stoneware and raku pieces.  In 2020, he achieved Selected Member status in the Craft Potters Association of Great Britain.

Summer of Nature

Come along to Leeds Industrial Museum during the summer school holidays and get your magnifying glasses at the ready as you hunt for the wildlife that has found its way into the museum. Join the family nature trail to see how many you can spot, then take away a craft to do at home!

And while you’re here, why not catch a family film in our tiny cinema, every day at 2pm?

See the Summer of Nature workshops on selected Tuesdays and Thursdays in July and August for more nature fun!

Summer of Nature workshops

Join us for nature themed workshops on selected days during the summer school holidays.

Have a go at making a bug house, leaf printing, wildlife collages and more. Get creative while you learn about the different plants and animals that live near the museum. Some workshops will take place outside in our beautiful Colour Garden (weather dependent).

While you’re here, don’t forget to spot the animals in the museum in our Nature Trail, and catch a family film in our tiny cinema.

War Horse

The National Theatre’s acclaimed production of War Horse returns in an all-new UK and Ireland tour.

Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, adapted by Nick Stafford, and directed by Tom Morris, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
