Families
Discover family activities, a warm welcome, and beautiful gardens perfect for exploring.
Turner Sims is the perfect place for your family to discover the joy of live music. Enjoy free activities at our Family Days or use our free bug hunt sheets for a mini adventure any day of the year.
Family Days
Turner Sims Family Days have become calendar highlights for local families. Child-friendly events take over the building, with a mixture of ticketed performances and drop-in family fun.
In the summer we spill out into the gardens with free outdoor performances, workshops and activities.
In the winter we stay cosy inside with free craft activities and facepainting in the foyer.
We hope you’ll join us for music, dancing, crafts and more at the next Turner Sims Family Day.
Can you spot any familiar faces in our Family Day gallery?
Turner Sims is very exciting and the events make you happy. There's things for all ages. It has amazing staff and everyone cares.
Join the Big Bug Hunt
At Summer Family Day 2024 we invited families to join a Big Bug Hunt. If you missed it then, there’s still time to join in!
The gardens of Highfield Campus, outside Turner Sims, are perfect for exploring. Download the Big Bug Hunt activity sheet below or pick up a copy from the Box Office on your next visit. Your next family adventure could start here, any day of the year.
Can you find a ladybird, a honey bee and a black garden ant? What about a small tortoiseshell butterfly and a garden bumble bee?
We’d love to see your photos on Facebook @TurnerSimsSouthampton or Instagram @Turner_Sims
