Discover the joyful tradition of Pakistani Truck Art by decorating colourful designs using stamps, paints and embellishments, creating a vibrant truck art bookmark, enjoying creative colouring activities and taking photos at the colourful Truck Art Selfie Spot. Suitable for children aged 5–12 years, this workshop encourages imagination, artistic expression and cultural discovery.

You can also Design & Paint Your Own Cricket Bat, inspired by Pakistan’s passion for cricket and the bold colours and intricate patterns of Pakistani truck art. Using acrylic paint markers, participants can decorate one of the wooden bats provided or bring along their own to personalise.

Suitable for children aged 4+, young people, families and adults. Whether you choose one workshop or enjoy both, there’s something for everyone. 

All materials are provided (unless bringing your own cricket bat), so simply drop in, get creative and take home your colourful creations.
