DEN building, Lego masterclasses, coding workshops and theatre performances are among the activities on offer for youngsters at Storyhouse during February half-term.

For seven days, the city arts venue will have a programme of family activities, including Lego workshops by winners of Channel 4's Lego Masters, a talk by prolific children's illustrator Nick Sharrat plus performances, films and free arts and crafts.

Alex Clifton, artistic director at Storyhouse, said: "This half-term, Storyhouse will be a hive of creative activity, a place for families to build dens together, design computer games, or watch a film or show.' 

Families can enjoy a performance by acclaimed improv kings Noise Next Door on February 16 when they bring their latest show At Sea to Storyhouse's main theatre.

Children's illustrator Nick Sharrat will give a talk packed with tips for budding artists.

Den building is back – the popular workshop that uses household junk to create amazing hiding spaces, while Thursday, February 21 is dedicated to Lego making.

Other workshops include computer game design, coding and stop-motion animation.

There will be also be a Play in Day project for juniors aged between seven-11, where aspiring theatre makers will write, direct, rehearse and perform a single play in one day.

Every day the children's library will have free arts and crafts inspired by dragons.

Meanwhile, Storyhouse's cinema presents the latest in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise in The Hidden World.
