Learning is fundamental to all that we do at Turner. We aim to extend the benefits of art to the most in-need children, families, and adults. We celebrate the enrichment that art brings to people’s lives and work locally to help reduce inequality.

Explore our diverse programmes, resources, and opportunities designed to inspire and connect. Whether you're looking to develop new skills, spark your imagination, or participate in creative experiences, there are many ways to get involved.

You can get in touch with the learning team and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Featured Programme

An Apple a Day

An Apple a Day is a creative teaching resource bringing nature into your classroom. It’s filled with engaging activities using apples, orchards and the natural world to teach a wide range of subjects. 

While it’s perfect for autumn, it can be used at any time of year to plan your own apple-themed STEAM day or week. Inspiring your students with fun, hands-on learning across the curriculum.
