Sparky Saturdays: Archive in a Day

What’s in an Archive and why is it important? Which everyday objects will seem strange and unusual to future generations?

Join us in creating an Archive in a day and add your own everyday marvels!

Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition, enjoy a cuppa and try our hands-on activities.

You can also browse our dressing-up rails, try the Percy Trail and go shopping in the Penny Bazaar!

Free light refreshments included, or bring a packed lunch and use our indoor picnic space.

Have a look at our Family Visits page to find out more about getting here and what to expect.

Booking details: No need to book, just drop in – it’s all free!
