Family Museum Trail on this August!

Join us for a brilliantly bonkers museum trail, part of the national Grimwood Museum Adventure with Kids in Museums and Simon & Schuster Children’s Books. The trail celebrates the release of the latest book in the Grimwood series: Party Animals, written and illustrated by Nadia Shireen. Spot as many animals as you can find, complete puzzles and build a barmy bird’s nest from objects you can spot in the museum! Complete the trail and get a free Grimwood sticker. There is also a competition to enter!

The Grimwood Book Series: Fox cub siblings, Ted and Nancy escape urban life and find themselves in Grimwood, the forest where anything can happen. Along with their new friends, Willow the Rabbit, Sharon the Party Crow, Titus the Stag, and more squirrels than they know what to do with, they face the toughest challenges, embark on the maddest adventures, learn the biggest life lessons and have the most fun two fox cubs can have.

Join us for Kids Aloud!

This summer holiday we’re taking part in Art Fund’s Kids Aloud campaign - when noisy kids are allowed to be loud! Join us every Thursday in August from 10am-3pm for our Kids Aloud timeslot, when children can be energetic and noisy whilst exploring our galleries. We’ll have a special Art Detective Trail around the galleries, our art cart will be out with fun activities and games and don’t forget our hands-on Kipper the Cat activities in the galleries. There’s no need to book, just turn up and have some noisy fun!
