Community Afternoons
Free, drop in
Join us for select Thursday afternoons for a chance to find out more about our Handling Collection, and meet local community groups.
Drop into our Hands On Base on Thursday afternoons to get up close to and touch some of the things in our Handling Collection.
We have lots of things in the Collection including toys, musical instruments, clothes from around the world, puppets, taxidermy and masks.
Some of these sessions are run in partnership with local community groups, who choose objects from our collections and share their stories about what they mean to them.
These sessions are open to all, and suitable for all ages including babies and toddlers.
