Discover Fun and Learning at the Museum of Richmond!
Looking for an exciting, educational (and affordable) day out with the family? The Museum of Richmond offers a fantastic range of hands-on activities designed to bring history to life for children of all ages. Located in the heart of Richmond, this hidden gem is perfect for families looking to explore local history while having fun together.
During school holidays, the museum hosts engaging workshops led by experienced educators. Children can dive into Richmond’s fascinating past through creative crafts, storytelling, and interactive activities. Kids can enjoy delightful Easter-themed craft sessions in the spring.
For those who prefer a more flexible visit, the Get Crafty sessions run every weekday afternoon and Saturday, offering free, self-led craft activities. With a changing monthly theme, there’s always something new to enjoy!
Younger visitors can also embark on museum trails with museum mascots Lizzie and Harry, solving puzzles and uncovering hidden stories along the way. Older children (11+) can even take part in a Summer School to earn a Bronze Arts Award.
With free entry and activities for all, the Museum of Richmond is the perfect destination for family fun and learning!
