Everyday Heroes – May Half Term
Celebrate everyday heroes in this workshop and tour dedicated to the people who help us!
Join us a store tour, a self-directed craft and the opportunity to interact with historical objects representing the people who help, then and now.
Learn from objects in our collection about people who help others, including our fireperson and nurse outfits from the Dress and Textiles collection. Maybe even meet a real-life hero too!
There are two sessions throughout the day, from 10-12pm, then 1-3pm, with 3-3:30pm reserved for SEND families.
Give What You Can.
