Families

Families and children are very welcome in the museum, there are lots of interesting spaces to explore and hands-on activities to try.

Relax with a book or put together a puzzle in our under-5s play area. Older children can try on 1940s dressing up clothes and have a go at typing on an old-fashioned manual typewriter in the World War II Ware Command Centre. All ages can enjoy digging for treasure in our archaeological dig. What will you find?

Pick up one of our family activity leaflets – you can follow the trail to discover highlights of the museum, or try your hand at aircraft spotting.

Are you brave enough to stand on top of the medieval well and look down into the depths?
