Family Fun at Folkestone Triennial

Although Folkestone Triennial 2025 has now ended, many of the artworks remain on display across the town. Families can continue to explore these pieces and discover the creativity woven into the streets, squares, and coastlines of Folkestone.
During the Triennial, a variety of Family Workshops gave children and adults the chance to experiment with drawing, printmaking, storytelling, and movement, responding directly to the artworks on show. From playful explorations of colour and shape to hands-on activities inspired by specific pieces, these sessions encouraged curiosity and creativity.
Even without the workshops running, the artworks themselves offer plenty to inspire exploration, discussion, and imaginative play for families visiting the town.
Family Activity Sheets
Our family activity sheets are designed to help younger visitors get curious, get creative, and enjoy discovering the artworks in their own way. With playful prompts, open-ended questions, and space to draw or reflect, they gently encourage children to look closer and follow their interests - whether that’s making, imagining, or exploring.

Explore more together
During the Triennial, families had the opportunity to join guided tours and participate in hands-on workshops to experience the artworks up close. These activities were a great way to explore the artworks together, ask questions, share ideas, and see the town from a fresh perspective.
Although these events have concluded, you can still explore the remaining artworks using our Take Your Own Tours resources. These self-guided options allow families to engage with the art at their own pace.
