Elf Trail
Wander through the museum to find festive surprises with elf characters in their own mischievous scenes.
Mini elves have made the museum their playful home for December.
Once you’ve discovered their hiding places, you can claim your elf sticker! Seen elves here before? They shape-shift each year so rest assured there’ll be new surprises and mischief in store!
Please note the museum is closed on Mondays. Check our website for festive opening/closure times.
Drop-in. Collect your trail at the main entrance. Subject to opening hours.
