Kids' Workshops and Events in Warsaw: October–November 2026

As of 6 October 2026. Dates and prices come from the organisers' own websites. Check before you go and book early: family workshops usually have only a handful of places.

Autumn is the best time of year for children's workshops in Warsaw: museums restart their family programmes, theatres open new shows, and the weather does the rest. Here are specific events for October and November 2026, with the date, time, address and, where the organiser gives one, the price.

One note: we run the Art for Kids studio in Wilanów, so our workshop is in the calendar too. It's described the same way as everything else.

A children's workshop alongside "Rzeźba na meblościankę": 152 ceramic figurines that stood on shelves in Polish flats for decades — penguins, monkeys, strongmen.

How not to miss out

• Book straight away. Museum family workshops usually have a dozen or so places.
• Check the age. "Museum for Toddlers" is a different thing from a workshop for 9–12-year-olds.
• Leave time afterwards. After a workshop, children usually want to see the exhibition too.

Most museum workshops are in Polish. For more ideas, see What to do with kids at the weekend in Warsaw, and for autumn afternoons at home, our 7 autumn crafts for kids.
