Mini Stryx: Creative Stay and Play Mini Stryx was established in March 2024 as a direct response to the needs of our Jewellery Quarter community. We recognised the importance of creating a space where young children and their families could explore, connect, and thrive. This weekly session for children aged 0-5 is a celebration of early childhood creativity, offering opportunities to discover, play, and express themselves through a wide range of media and materials.
At Mini Stryx, we value the power of creative exploration and play. Each session is designed to nurture children’s developmental skills while encouraging them to play freely, fostering curiosity, confidence, and imagination. Beyond the activities themselves, we’re proud to see meaningful connections forming—children building early friendships, and mothers and caregivers creating supportive local networks that enrich our community.
Mini Stryx embodies our belief that creative and culture spaces should be welcoming and accessible to all. We’re delighted to provide a programme that grows alongside our families, embedding the joy of art and play into the heart of our City. We’re excited to continue supporting and celebrating the creativity of our youngest participants and their families.We also partnered with EWA CIC and their Creative and Brave initiative enabling inclusion and support to Ukrainian communities in Birmingham through our activities.This community-based session offers a relaxed, structured environment where parents can connect and share experiences (over a cup of tea!) while children engage in self-directed creative play.
