The takeover aims to celebrate this timeless connection by merging the worlds of art and heritage, reminding us that the creativity we held as children never fades – it merely evolves.

The gallery opens its doors to the young and young-at-heart from September 27th to September 28th, Kids and Toddlers can enjoy hands-on workshops, interactive installations, and Teletubbies-themed activities. This family-friendly event allows visitors to reconnect with their childhood while experiencing the whimsical joy of the Teletubbies in a new and inspiring context.

With activities ranging from doodling on giant canvases to creating Teletubbies-inspired accessories, the weekend will be packed with joyful moments designed to spark creativity across generations. After all, the Teletubbies have always been more than just characters – they are a shared experience, a reminder that childhood is a time of boundless imagination and joy.

As the Teletubbies continue to engage audiences across generations, they embody the simple, universal joys of friendship, curiosity, and play. They were many of our first childhood friends, helping us navigate a world of bright colours, new sounds, and endless possibilities. This unique art exhibit reminds us that the childlike wonder they first inspired still resides within us.
