Children can go on a wild goose chase, hatch their own egg-inspired fashion and learn more about Bath’s famous pigs during Easter holiday activities organised by local museums.
The Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery are all putting on a number of events from Monday 2 April to Thursday 12 April, 2012.
The Roman Baths is holding a family drop-in session where people can find out about the myth of Bladud and his pigs on Monday 2 April: 10am-1pm & 2pm-4pm.
At the Fashion Museum children can use egg shapes to create unique designs with the “Eggstatic Fashion” sessions which run on Tuesday 3 April: 10.30am-12.30pm & 1.30pm-3.30pm.
At the Victoria Art Gallery “On a Wild Goose Chase” is an active art session for three to seven year olds and runs on Thursday 5 April: 10.30am-12noon & 1.30-3pm. Children can seek out the gallery geese and create a gorgeous goose of their own.
Also at the Gallery is “Signs of Spring” for six to 11-year-olds on Thursday 12 April: 10.30am-12noon & 1.30pm-3pm. Youngsters can spot the seasonal changes in the Gallery’s displays and be inspired to produce a spring collage using a selection of materials.
