Spiky Crafts
Visit our drop-in crafting area in the museum to design your own spiky defence, or decorate your own hedgehog.
Drop in between 10am-12pm or 1pm-3pm.
Whilst we’re celebrating spiky – pick up a Hedgehog Trail at the museum to find out what the friendly and shy hedgehogs are up to this May. There are little and large hedgehogs hiding all around.
