Families in Royal Tunbridge Wells can take part in free sustainability-themed craft sessions during the upcoming half-term break. The Amelia Scott will host its latest Discovery Days on Wednesday 27, Friday 29, and Saturday 30 May 2026.
The drop-in sessions run from 10:00 to 15:00 on those days and offer children and their parents a chance to get creative without needing to book in advance. This half term, the activities focus on environmental themes, including making finger puppets out of old activity sheets, painting designs onto pebbles, and crafting plant pots from used egg cartons. Children will also receive seeds to plant in their new containers at home.
The venue is located on Monson Road, right next to the Town Hall. Since reopening in 2022 following a £21 million project, the cultural hub has served as a centre for community services, including library, museum, and gallery facilities. The building is named in honour of Amelia (Millie) Scott, a social reformer and suffragist who became one of the first two women elected to the local borough council in 1919.
Discovery Days are a regular feature of the site’s programming for families during school holidays. The cultural hub operates with support from Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and Kent County Council, alongside contributions from Arts Council England and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
