Additional information

Event description

Join us for two free, hands-on workshops, where you’ll take part in playful activities and create your own invention idea. No drawing skills needed.

To celebrate 10 years of Little Inventors, we’re inviting people of all ages to take part in Joy Lab: Inventing for Happiness, a creative project exploring a simple question: What could you invent to bring a moment of happiness to someone’s day?

Together, we’ll imagine fun, kind and unusual inventions that make everyday life a little brighter – whether that’s making someone smile, helping with something tricky, or turning an ordinary moment into something joyful.

Open to all ages – children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Selected ideas from the project will be brought to life by professional makers and showcased in a public exhibition at Culture House. Come along, get creative, and discover the joy of inventing.
