These sessions are very busy. The queue will open 15 minutes before each performance. For everyone's safety, we will close the queue if we reach capacity.
Drop-in sessions will be first come, first served. At busy times, we may need to direct visitors to quieter activities on our programme of events.
Photography helps families understand what to expect at our events and shows funders the great work we do. As such, a museum photographer may be present to take pictures. No need to preen or pose, just play!
The museum is open every day 10am – 5pm.
