May Half Term Family Fun!

Step into the world of secret agents this school holiday with hands-on family activities at the Museum!

Join us at our craft tables to put your Secret Agent skills to the test:

10:00–12:30 every weekday from Monday 25th to Friday 29th May - see timetable below.

Discover clever disguises, hidden explosives, invisible ink, secret message pigeons and undercover gadgets used by wartime spies. Lift objects to uncover their hidden uses, test your observation skills, and see if you’ve got what it takes to become an agent. From fake glasses and coded messages to explosive “poo” and hidden radios, there’s plenty for young secret agents to explore and uncover!

Code Cracking Trail:

Available all week

Discover the stories of real life Secret Agents as part of a fun code cracking trail around the Museum.

Interactive Top Secret Mission:

Pick up your Mission Booklet from the Museum Shop when you arrive and begin your secret assignment. Solve four clues hidden around the Museum to uncover vital information, then make contact with your handler to complete the mission and claim your reward!
