Family Hub Fridays
Our Family Hub Days run 11am to 2pm and anyone with young children under 5 years is welcome to join us.
Our Family Hub Fridays run from 11am to 2pm, and all parents and carers with young children under 5 are welcome to drop in any time!
Each session is designed to spark curiosity and encourage imagination. We have space to run around in the gardens or have a look at our museum, and an activity to help your little ones connect with our collections in hands-on, meaningful ways.
For all days outside, we ask that people bring sun cream and all the important things, as our gardens can get hot in the summer.
Don’t forget to bring your Family Hub Card for £1 entry! And if you don’t have one yet, you can pick one up on the day.
