Second Saturday
We run themed family events on the Second Saturday of every month. A revolving programme of family activities may have you heading into the Roman Amphitheatre and hearing tales of Roman conquests or creating crafts from the Victorian paintings surrounding you.
A story corner with soft cushions, costumes, and building bricks will also be available.
