The Art Imaginarium - Hackney

London, United Kingdom•5(26)•Art Gallery, Play Café

Discover creative art and circus workshops combining hands-on making, performance, and well-being activities for children aged 4-11 in East London.

The Art Imaginarium offers unique art and circus holiday camps designed for children aged 4-11 in East London. Each week features a different themed adventure, such as 'The Enchanted Forest', where children create imaginative projects including dragon masks, fairy dust necklaces, unicorn hobby horses, wizard's cauldrons, and light-up fairy houses. The camps blend structured creative activities with theatrical circus elements, encouraging children to develop confidence through performance in a safe, supportive environment. The experience combines three core elements: art that fosters creativity and imagination with therapeutic benefits; circus skills that teach new physical techniques and performance confidence; and well-being practices including mindfulness to prepare children for the day. Sessions run from 9am to 3:30pm with optional early drop-off at 8:30am and late pick-up at 5:30pm. Healthy organic snacks are provided throughout the day. The camps are OFSTED and EYFS registered, operating at multiple East London locations including Holy Trinity Primary School and Columbia Primary School. The venue accepts government tax-free childcare scheme vouchers and childcare vouchers, with various discounts available for early birds, new parents, and referrals. Testimonials highlight the high-quality art materials, enthusiastic staff, and children's genuine excitement and pride in their creations.

My daughter has enjoyed this art club for three years in a row now, it's the highlight of our time in London. She had an amazing time and always finds it fun and learns new things. The teachers are all really experienced and enthusiastic and the activities are genuinely creative and challenging. Highly recommended!

I took my child to The Art Imaginarium over the Easter holidays on Columbia Primary school, and he absolutely loved it. Each day he came home proud and excited, showing off the amazing creations he made during their safari-themed week. The arts and crafts were imaginative, engaging, and clearly well thought out. What really stood out was the care and attentiveness of the facilitators. My child often finds new environments challenging, but the team went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and supported. Their kindness and adaptability made all the difference. Huge thanks to Priya and the whole team for creating such a thoughtful and inspiring space. We’ll definitely be back!.

We found the club while planning a two-week trip to London for work. We really could not be happier with the experience. Our daughter loved her time at the club. There are great activities for each day and the entire week is well planned out. We wish holiday clubs at home had such enthusiastic staff. This is clearly a club that hires the best people and makes sure that children enjoy themselves.

My son enjoyed every minute of making his submarine, jellyfish and Octopus. Catherine was friendly and welcoming along with all the other staff. If your child loves being creative I'd definitely recommend this workshop. Thank you for having Omari x
