This half-term, join us for a paws-itively exciting afternoon of creativity and discovery at the Museum of Classical Archaeology.

Inspired by the wild and wonderful creatures of the ancient world, families and young explorers will dive into classical archaeology through hands-on animal-themed crafts and an exciting new museum trail. Children can craft their own creatures to take home while learning the fascinating stories behind the animals of ancient Greece and Rome.

Free to attend. Drop in anytime!

 

Can't make it on the 29th? That's okay, our Animal Antics Family Trail will be up for the whole of half-term. Drop in anytime to follow the trail.
