Discover at Home is a fantastic way for families to keep engaged in arts and creativity with their children while they are at home. Children (ages 5-11) can even earn an Arts Award Discover Certificate to celebrate their fantastic achievement!
Simply complete our specially designed Logbook alongside their chosen creative activity and send this back to us, to apply for their Discover at Home certificate. For more information – please scroll down to the drop down sections at the bottom of this page.
To help you on your Arts Award Discover at Home journey, you can explore different art forms and creative ideas with our new Discover at Home Activity Videos, created by local artists.
In these challenging times, we feel it is important to provide support to parents, carers and children to enable them to continue to engage in the arts and culture from home. Arts Award Discover at Home is for children and young people aged 11yrs and under. The Award provides an opportunity to learn more about the arts, get excited about arts and culture, have a go at being creative and best of all, celebrate their creative achievements! This unique qualification is managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England.

In order to help families get started, we are very excited to launch our new Discover at Home series, full of fun, accessible and interactive videos which explore a whole range of different art forms and creative ideas – all inspired by the environment, the outdoors and designed to enhance emotional wellbeing. All of these activities have been created by talented local artists and are designed for parents and carers to complete with younger children (aged 5-11yrs).

Select one of the documents below to access your very own, uniquely designed Discover at Home Log Book which your child can complete along their Arts award Discover at Home journey. We have two versions which you can print-out, and a special PDF version which is fully interactive and can be completed online.
There is no time limit to completing this! Begin by looking through the log book with your child and talking about the different parts they need to complete with your help– this is a good opportunity to ask them what kind of art forms they are interested in exploring and what they’d like to find out more about.
Fancy doing something different? We’ve had submissions in many different formats including video logbooks – this is your chance to really get creative!

We hope children will have a lot of fun completing their folders and you’ll have enjoyed the process too in supporting them. Once their log book is complete, you can apply for a certificate, issued by Trinity College London to celebrate their brilliant achievement! Certificates cost £5.
If you would like to apply for one, simply email us your child’s finished log book which we will moderate. Trinity College London will then issue them their very own certificate! Please note that due to ongoing changes to lockdown restrictions, there may be a slight delay in postage of certificates.
For further information, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you!
