Events and activities

When: Tuesday 25 August, 10am to 2pm

What? We’re redesigning the radiology department – the space where people come for X-rays, ultrasounds and other types of imaging.

At this event we're working with an artist to create the design brief for the X-ray space. We'll be exploring through glow in the dark paint, cyanotype photography and more!

Who's this event for?

• Young people (aged 4 to16) who have had at least one X-ray or ultrasound in GOSH’s radiology department.
• Siblings and parents or carers of these young people.

What? Our Young People's Forum (YPF) is a group of current GOSH patients and siblings aged 10 to 21 years old who have a strong voice in helping to improve patient experience at GOSH.

When: Saturday 28 November

Who is it for? GOSH brothers and sisters, aged 7 to 21 years old.

What? A chance to have fun, meet other siblings who understand what it's like to have a brother or sister at GOSH, and help us think about how we can make GOSH better for siblings.

The day will include activities, games, lunch, and opportunities to meet other siblings in a relaxed, low-pressure environment.

We're co-producing a nativity play, with patients, families and staff to celebrate the festive season in a meaningful and inclusive way. 

This project will focus on storytelling, reflection and togetherness. 

In February 2027, GOSH has a BIG birthday- we're turning 175 years old! 

To celebrate, we're coproducing our very own pantomime- a very GOSH Peter Pan, celebrating our history and the people who make up GOSH today!

Together, we’ll build a performance full of personality, ideas and imagination from our GOSH community. 

When: Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 December 2026
