We love having young visitors in the Museum and we have activities to suit all ages.

The “Things That Fly” Summer Trail for children at Radstock Museum begins on Wednesday 23rd July and continues until Sunday 31st August 2025. Bring your children or grandchildren to the Museum where they can hunt around to find all the hidden “things that fly” after which they can delve into the lucky dip of prizes in the museum tearoom.

The trail is included with your admission ticket and the usual admission charges and opening times apply. Museum tickets are valid for 1 year so you can visit more than once for one fee.

Watch out for our themed quizzes. When we have a new quiz available it is advertised here on the website and also on Facebook. Sign up to the Museum Newsletter to get all the news about special events.


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.

As well as the special trail’s for the school holidays the Museum has a couple of permanent children’s trails: ” The Ammonite Trail” and “Bob the Coal-miner Trail”



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.
