Activities will suit a range of ages and abilities, with the majority of activities aimed at a Primary level. You are welcome to bring any age child along to this event.   

Between 9:00am - 2pm, staff and organisations will be in the museum running activities from making to demonstrations, object handling and discussion. 

A few of our confirmed activities are as follows:

We also have on:

  • A quiet hour from 9.00am until 10.00am. Numbers will be reduced, lighting higher and sound lowered for those who may be more sensitive to light and sound. 
  • The chance to complete your Arts Award Discover qualification during the visit. Payment for this covers your moderation and certification. Work is completed on the visit and then handed in at the end. Activity sheets will be provided to guide you. 

Places are limited, so book your space now! Entry times are staggered so that it is a smoother arrival for all.

We ask that if you wish to complete your Discover Arts Award in a Day that you sign up for this in advance too.  Book here: Arts Award Discover booking
