Saturday Family Art trolly.
Every Saturday | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
“Just be a child for a few hours.”
Each Saturday, our Family Art Trolley invites you to slow down, create, and reconnect through art.
Designed for families of all ages, these sessions blend playfulness with creativity, a space where imagination takes the lead.
Hosted within the Saabat Gallery, the programme features interactive workshops, art activities, and free creative resources that inspire experimentation and joy.
Whether you’re painting, sculpting, or simply exploring new materials together, every visit offers something fresh and meaningful.
Enjoy light refreshments provided throughout the session, and feel free to bring along your lunch to enjoy in our shared space.
We welcome new families to join our growing creative community, no experience needed, just curiosity and a love for making.
To take part, email Nathaniel@saabatgallery.com or come along any Saturday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
Saabat Gallery Open Studios
Tuesday – Friday | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Step behind the scenes of creativity at Saabat Gallery Open Studios. Pop in any Tuesday through Friday to meet our resident artists, explore their studios, and discover the stories behind their work.
Take your time to wander through the spaces, watch creativity in action, and engage in friendly conversations about art, technique, and inspiration. Whether you’re a long-time collector, a curious visitor, or simply seeking a little creative spark, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
You may even leave with a unique piece of local art, directly from the hands of the artists themselves, a tangible memory of your visit and a one-of-a-kind addition to your home.
Our Open Studios offer a warm and welcoming environment where creativity, conversation, and community come together. Come and experience the pulse of local art at Saabat Gallery.
Saabat Community Learning Garden
Community Action Day: Every Tuesday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Step into Saabat’s Community Learning Garden, a vibrant space where creativity, learning, and community come together.
Every Tuesday, join us for Community Action Day, a chance to roll up your sleeves, get involved, and help care for our garden alongside residents, students, and artists. It’s a hands-on opportunity to connect, share skills, and make a real difference in a welcoming and inspiring environment.
We work with experts, students, and artists passionate about the environment, offering sessions that explore food, ecology, horticulture, and practical skills, all in a supportive, interactive setting.
At the heart of the Garden Gallery is learning through doing. Our expansive garden allows us to offer a diverse programme for schools and the wider community, focusing on plant-based learning, kitchen-based projects, and creative links to our gallery collection.
Our inclusive learning programme encourages participation at every level, with hands-on, practical activities designed for schools, families, and the local community alike. Whether you want to grow, cook, create, or simply learn something new, the Saabat Community Learning Garden welcomes you.
From Saabat Gallery by Kavana Klup on every wednesday and Saturday from 6.30pm to 8.30pm
Every Wednesday from 6pm to 8pm
Celebrating age is part of our programme of creative engagement with the over 60s. Through it we cultivate new ways of thinking about ageing and work with a range of partners to make Redcar a supportive and positive place to grow older.
The project consists of a series of artful activities with Redcar’s older residents and their carers that tackles isolation and social exclusion. In active sessions we use making, story-telling, music and conversation to share and learn skills as well as to support a sense of belonging.
The project includes a new peer-led volunteering programme and provides a package of training for volunteers, arts professionals, and staff in partner organisations. Through it, we provide individuals and businesses with Dementia Friends training.
Celebrating Age takes the ethos and approach of our ongoing dementia friendly programme outside of the gallery. By using existing community spaces around the town, we ensure that people are working in environments that they feel are familiar and comfortable. We aim to activate these community spaces, and the resources around them, so that social and creative practices become a sustainable part of people’s lives.
