School Holiday Storytime

Discover scientists and nature savers in our school holiday storytime!

In this story time session designed for the whole family, we’ll discover inspirational stories of pioneering scientists and tales of looking after our environment.

After a few stories, we’ll get making a craft so you can take a bit of this session home with you.

This free session is a great opportunity for a laid-back exploration of our exhibitions. Children can sit or explore while they listen to stories read by our Museum educators.

This session is open to families of all ages. All children must be accompanied by an adult carer.
