Gnomes Sweet Gnome
Help! Our cheeky gnomes have escaped and are hiding all over the Victorian Streets, grab a trail sheet and see who you can find!
You might find them planting in the pub, camping in the chemists, dressing up in the drapers or arresting suspects in our new police station!
We’re making sure our museum is ‘neat and tidy’ by ticking off/finding all of the gnomes on our family trail. Be sure to come and join the mischief!
Join craft activities inspired by our cheeky friends, and see if you can spot all the gnome doors!
