Our emergency services are incredibly busy dealing with fires across the country at the moment. A little extra care from all of us can make a huge difference.

Please follow their advice, help prevent fires and help keep our firefighters, communities and wildlife safe. ❤️

And we’re very glad to see the tiniest casualty of this particular fire made it out safely! 🐭

What was crime really like in Victorian Britain? 🕵️

This summer holidays, our team are exploring Victorian crime, from stealing bread and clothes to discovering some rather funny facts, like how it was against the law to chase a chicken through a market! 🐓

Something suspicious is going on in the museum… and we need your help to crack the case!

This summer, become a Victorian Crime Investigator and explore the museum like a real detective. Search for clues, examine evidence and piece together what really happened as you investigate mysteries hidden throughout our galleries.

Learn how investigators spot clues and discover how crimes were solved in Victorian Britain. From fingerprints and witness statements to suspicious objects and mysterious happenings, every detail could hold the key to solving the case.

With detective trails, hands-on activities and creative challenges, young investigators will need sharp thinking, teamwork and curiosity to uncover the truth.

But the investigation doesn't stop there. Step back in time and discover what life was really like in Victorian Britain. Explore the jobs people did, the clothes they wore and the challenges they faced, all while exploring our very own Victorian Police, Fire and Ambulance Station.

Join us at the National Emergency Services Museum in Sheffield from 10am - 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday (Between July 25 and August 30) throughout the summer holidays. All activities are included with standard museum entry.
