Spring Holiday

Spring Holidays at The Bowes Museum

Spring has sprung at The Bowes Museum, and there’s plenty for families to discover this school holiday.

Join us on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for fun-filled days designed for children and young people of all ages. Take part in creative workshops, explore the galleries together and enjoy hands-on activities inspired by the museum’s remarkable collection.

Family activities

Set off on a Family Story Tour: Vivienne Westwood: Rebel – Storyteller – Visionary, a lively adventure through our latest exhibition filled with fascinating stories and surprising details.

Bring the outside in at Nature Spotters, or head to the Objects on the Move gallery as Bug Club returns, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the museum cares for its objects.

Creative workshops for curious minds

Older children and young people can get creative in Arty STEAM, exploring the connections between art and science through museum wonders such as the famous Silver Swan.

Or make a fashion statement in ART AS PROTEST, a Vivienne Westwood-inspired workshop where participants discover how clothing can spark conversation, challenge norms and inspire change.

Explore a major new exhibition

The Spring holidays are also the perfect time to experience Vivienne Westwood: Rebel – Storyteller – Visionary, a bold exhibition exploring how one of Britain’s most influential designers rewrote the rules of fashion through storytelling, creativity and radical style.

Put a spring in your step this holiday and enjoy a day of creativity, discovery and family fun at The Bowes Museum.
