Announcing our Know Your Place family activities!
May half-term family fun!
Looking for something to do with the kids in May half-term? Why not come along to one of our FREE* family events happening across the region?
‘Out and About!’ Using maps to study the local area
To celebrate the launch of our new learning pack, we’re bringing family fun sessions to a place near you! We’ll be in Bath and North East Somerset, Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire with our family activities and heritage walks throughout May half term.
Help build your local area on a map, design a postcard, colour and make, look at historic photographs of your area, explore your local history on Know Your Place, and more!
Come along on a family heritage walk, look out for landmarks with a spotter trail and have fun on the way, looking at our route through historic maps and mapping what you find onto Know Your Place afterwards! Parents, bring along your mobiles and tablets to explore your local heritage with Know Your Place as we go!
Please note: Family heritage walk is suitable for ages 5 and above. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Museum admission fees may apply. Please wear appropriate outdoor clothing.
