On Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd December, get hands on painting and making Christmas Gnomes, create your own Northern Lights picture, and have a go at our toy making time trial.

Activities are suitable for ages over 5 to 10 years old. All children must be accompanied by an adult, who can attend for free, including entry to the museum.

Admission: One free adult per child, additional adults pay the museum admission fee of £4 unless they hold a membership.
