We have something for families of all ages to keep the children entertained during the school holidays!
In the mornings, we have our popular hands on family workshops, led by our Museum Expert, Vicky, who has nearly 20 years of experience of working with families and has an Enhanced DBS check. Each workshop helps you and your children discover more about Richmond’s history, get creative and spend some quality time together. Click here to find our more about our upcoming workshop themes and how to book.
In the afternoons, we have FREE craft activities for families. There will be simple crafts available in the exhibition area from 1pm until the Museum closes each day of the Richmond school holidays. Everything you need will be set out for you to get creative as a family, including instruction sheets and materials, including trails with our Museum mascots, Lizzie and Harry!

Each month we will be exploring the story behind a beautifully crafted object in the Museum’s collection. Then we will help you start your own craft project inspired by the object and at the end of the workshop you have a goody bag of materials to take home and keep crafting!
