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!
Running from 11am–2pm, these free drop-in sessions are open to all parents, carers and children under 5. Come along at any time and enjoy a relaxed day of creative play, discovery and stories.
There’ll be space to run round in the gardens, visit the museum and take part in hands-on activities inspired by our collections.
