Bowes Babies

Bowes Babies are special sessions designed for our youngest visitors aged 0–5 and their families. Join a member of our Learning Team in the Conversation Gallery for an opportunity for little ones to play, explore and connect. 

Guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework, these sessions encourage children to discover the museum through their senses, nurturing their natural curiosity and building confidence. With a warm and welcoming environment, it’s also a lovely opportunity for parents and carers to meet others and become part of a friendly local community. 

Recommended for children aged 0-5 years and their grownups, taking place in the Conversation Gallery.

Please contact Alia Cruz, Learning Manager at  learn@thebowesmusuem.org.uk if you have access requirements, so the session can be adapted to suit your needs.    

To reserve your place click ‘book tickets’ and select the ticket that suits you. We’ll confirm your membership when you arrive, or you can pay for a day ticket/ join as a member on the day.
