We love having young visitors in the Museum and have prepared a range of activities to suit all ages.

Can you find me?

New Children’s Trail for the February Half Term Holiday

Saturday 15th February to Sunday 23rd February

Children's trail Feb 2025


Can You Find Me? Children bring your grown-ups for a hunt around the Museum in search of hidden objects ….BUT there is one item that is the odd one out, can you work out which object does not belong and why? When you know the answer, you can claim a small free prize.

The trail is available during the usual Museum opening hours and Normal Museum Admission Prices Apply



Here are a selection of the activities that are available to our younger visitors during Museum opening hours and are included in your annual entry ticket.

We have a range of QUIZZES available for you to try during your visit.  The 12 month tickets mean that you can come to the Museum often and try a different quiz each time.


Follow the AMMONITE TRAIL : this one is good for smaller people as a lot of it happens at their eye level.


The DRESSING UP area is popular. Mop caps and aprons for the children and mortar boards  and gowns for the adults.


BE SURE TO STOP BY THE SMELL BOXES: on your way round the Victorian town.
