A great opportunity! Monday 1st June will be the first Museum Takeover for home Education/SEN children.

The Crafty Cabin and the Museum of Power are coming together to bring you our new Museum Takeover!

The Museum is closed to the public on a Monday and we are delighted to offer a calm environment for all children to enjoy crafts, activities, games, talks whilst also having the opportunity to explore the exhibits and outdoor space at their own time and pace with a dedicated quiet space if needed.

There will be lots for the children to do and an opportunity to earn a Pawprint badge (please order your badge when booking) based on the theme that month. Our theme for June will be all about Space and we are very lucky to have the amazing Professor Dean presenting his talk ‘The Importance of Space’ that he did to thousands of children last year.

The cost will be £10 per child (aged 5+) and £2 per adult and includes refreshments and snacks.

All we need now is you!

We look forward to seeing you for our first Museum Takeover for a social, fun and educational day.
