About
Get into the festive spirit with our new Christmas event at the museum. Set on our festively decorated Victorian Street, you'll meet the Holly King and Ivy Queen for some Christmas fun. Each session includes a festive story and entertainment with the Holly King and Ivy Queen. Children will enjoy classic Christmas games like pass the parcel and receive a special Christmas gift to take home.
There are also a number of relaxed sessions for those who might find festive experiences overwhelming. Find out more here.
