Our family learning programme aims to provide activities that will allow family groups to enjoy our exhibits and learn together in the museum and galleries. Inspired by our exciting collection, local history and changing programme of exhibitions, there is plenty to do.

Throughout the galleries there are lots of hands on experiences, including dressing up, touch screen interactives, story baskets and a family trail.

We also run a programme of family learning events, often during the holidays and at weekends which can include craft, music, storytelling or artist led sessions. Please go to the What's On page for details of our current events and activities.

We aim to make the majority of our sessions drop in, so you get chance to enjoy the rest of the museum too.

As we want our family groups to enjoy taking part together, we ask that children are accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
