Get Creative Gallery

Get Creative Gallery: Share your creativity with the world!

 Do you paint, dance, knit or sing? Then grab your phone and film yourself doing your hobby during the Get Creative Weekend, share it with us and we’ll showcase it to the world.
Hundreds of activities are taking place across the UK on Friday 7, Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 April 2017 aimed at getting everyone to try something new and creative. A mass-participation dance up one of Wales' highest mountains kick-started this year's Get Creative Weekend - a bumper three-day fiesta of arts, crafts and creativity.


Pottery studios across the UK are throwing open their doors for Hey Clay!, giving would be potters a chance to get fired up behind a pottery wheel, while other highlights include steam-bending furniture making in Manchester, learning circus skills in Northern Ireland, an interactive workshop mixing Shakespeare and dance in Dundee, and an audio tour of historic King's Cross in London to name just a few.
The 650 events - many of them free - are being held by arts organisations big and small including the British Museum, Derby Theatre and a host of others from Orkney to Cornwall, Brecon to Belfast.

Events being held on Sunday include:
* An afternoon of storytelling at the Horniman Museum in London
* A special extended version of Mix It Up to encourage young and old to take part in some fun arts and craft at Z Arts in Manchester
* A day of singing, theatre, painting, crafts, printmaking, dancing, textiles and circus at the West Dean Parish Centre in the Forest of Dean.
Activities are not organised by the BBC and parents should check that events are family friendly.
