The Grimwood Museum Adventure
Join us this August for a brilliantly bonkers museum trail, part of the national Grimwood Museum Adventure with Kids in Museums and Simon & Schuster Children’s Books. The trail celebrates the release of the latest book in the Grimwood series: Party Animals, written and illustrated by Nadia Shireen. Spot as many animals as you can find, complete puzzles, and build a barmy bird’s nest from objects you can spot in the museum! Complete the trail and get a free Grimwood sticker. There is also a competition to enter!
Chill Out
Our Chill Out Space will be open, rain or shine. It is full of games and activities to play, or you can simply relax and have a picnic.
(On Thursdays the workshop will be taking place in this room)

Have you tried our mouse trail?
We have 22 mice hidden around our museum. It is quite a challenge to find them all – will you become an expert mouse hunter?
