Celebration Day 2026

Celebration Day is a moment to gather, share food, make things and look ahead. This year, we’ll be thinking about ‘Our Creative Futures’. How can we sustain creativity in our town, and how can children and young people’s voices help shape the future? Across workshops, exhibitions, food and informal conversation, visitors will be invited to share their hopes and ideas.

10am–12pm, Gallery Space

Join us for a free morning banner-making workshop aimed at families. Together, we’ll make bold banners — sharing ideas for creativity, community and the future of Loughborough.

1pm–3pm, Gallery Space

Drop into the Gallery Space in the afternoon for a free screen-printing activity. We’ll be exploring patterns, shapes and typography to create fun prints. A drop-in workshop, welcome to all.

10am–3pm, Foyer

See artworks made through Art Club, our creative programme for young people in Loughborough. Developed over the last year, this presentation celebrates the imagination, ideas and voices of young people making work here in the town.

10am–3pm, Project Space

Visit Freedom of Spirit, a collection of artworks created by more than 50 children living in Nablus and Hebron, Palestine. Made through workshops with Palestine Trauma Centre UK, the works share children’s hopes for safety, joy and possibility.

10am–3pm, Foyer

Throughout the day, Corita will be popping up in the foyer with baked goods, hot drinks and cold drinks. Come along to eat, spend time together, meet others, and enjoy a slower moment, as part of the day’s celebrations.
