Families can delve deeper into the city’s museum collections, exhibitions and displays through our jam-packed programme of events and on-site activities.

We have lots of special creative sessions and events for families throughout the year, and especially during school holidays. You can find out what's coming up for your family in the link below.

We also have regular activities and family trails available in the museums every week – just ask a member of our team about them when you arrive.
