Wacky Wednesdays (Under 5s)

Play and learn with your pre-schoolers!

Join us as we explore one of our fun weekly themes through interactive storytelling, activities, singing and crafts.

Wacky Wednesday is a shared experience perfect for pre-school children and their carers and includes opportunities to take a close look at different themes from the museum which they can relate to their own lives.

Upcoming themes:

Wed 11 Jun – Miners are Fathers Too
Wed 18 Jun – Pit Ponies
Wed 25 Jun –  Mining Myths
Wed 2 July – Colliery Cats
Wed 9 July – Dragonflies
Wed 16 July – Miners Holidays
Wed 10 September – What is coal?
Wed 17 September – Who are miners?
Wed 24  September – Miners’ Clothes

Wacky Wednesday is exclusively for children under 5 years only. Booking is essential to guarantee your child’s place. Adults do not need to pre-book their place. Please note all children must be accompanied by a maximum of two adults.

After Wacky Wednesday you can find the rabbit in Parkinson’s Yard, tunnel in the Technology Gallery or visit our Victorian Gallery. Watch out for the cute canaries, the ponies in our Pony Discovery Centre.
