Families

Make magical memories with the whole family.

This springtime, dive into a fantastic programme of free activities included within admission, inspired by The Bowes Museum’s wonderful collection, nature in the parkland and exclusive exhibitions.

Enjoy daily self-guided creative activities and artist-led Artist Maker Workshops in the Create Space, explore the beautiful 22 acres of parkland and join the Spotlight Tours for a brief introduction to the collection. Special events include Nature Spotters, Seed Bombs and Bug Club. There’s something for all ages to enjoy, with all activities included with admission.

Older teens and adults can book onto The Curators Series and Vault Tours, and there’s an opportunity to see the inspiring exhibition, From Joséphine Bowes: Trendsetters and Trailblazers.

Remember under 18’s, students and carers go free to The Bowes Museum.
