What we'll do
Ready to power up your creativity? ?✨ Join our one-day Games Design Workshop and make your own game from scratch—no experience needed! You’ll learn how to design cool characters, build exciting levels, create stories, and bring your ideas to life using real game design tools. It’s all hands-on, fun, and led by professional games designers you won’t usually meet at school. By the end of the day, you’ll have your own playable game to show off in a mini showcase with the group. You’ll also get to use specialist equipment and technology that most people don’t have at home or in school—and enjoy an exclusive sneak peek at our brand-new immersive exhibition, Unearth the Palaeoverse, featuring amazing marine reptiles and dinosaurs, before it opens in May! Places are limited, so don’t miss out. Bring your imagination, try something new, and start building your own game world! ?

About your mentor
Culture Coventry
Discover Coventry's museums in creative ways.
Culture Coventry Trust is home to three of Coventry's museums: Coventry Transport Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of British road transport, including the two fastest cars in the world. The award-winning Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, which celebrates the city’s culture, history and arts. The Lunt Roman Fort, a fully excavated and partially reconstructed turf and timber fort, including the only gyrus in the Roman Empire. Between them, these attractions proudly tell stories of Coventry’s unique history to over 800,000 visitors per year from around the world. CV Life is ever evolving and continuously looking for new ways to encourage people to be active and engaged in ways that suit them, their interests and needs.
When you arrive...
When you arrive at the Herbert Art Gallery, please make your way to the main reception area, coming through the entrance on Bayley Lane. You will see a member of our staff, wearing a purple or grey CV Life uniform. This person works in the ticket and shop area of the museum. Let them know that you are here to attend the HAF programme and they will direct you to our Learning and Engagement Team, who will check you against the register and lead you to the workshop area. Parent's are not required to stay, but they are welcome should the young person need their support. Snacks and drinks are available during the day, but we do recommend bringing your own bottle of water with you too. Lunch will be served in the museum café, where you can enjoy the social environment of the museum. When you arrive in the morning, you will have a menu with three hot meal options to choose from. For any young people arriving independently, we request that parents/carers alert us to this in advance, and also make us aware if your child is travelling home independently at the end of the day.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
