Children across the local area are being invited to enjoy an array of fun activities at the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery during the Easter holidays.
Children will be able to try their hand at French knitting and make a knitting Nancy at the Fashion Museum, see how the Romans used animals in decoration and have fun making an animal fridge magnet at the Roman Baths, or create a stylish top hat or bonnet inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec at the Victoria Art Gallery.
If all that crafting makes them hungry, visit The Pump Room restaurant for an Easter Kids’ Afternoon Tea, which will be available throughout the Easter school holidays.
The tea includes an Easter egg biscuit, bunny rabbit cupcake, gold chocolate rabbit, a selection of finger sandwiches and Kettle Chips, costing £7.95 per child.
Councillor Paul Crossley, cabinet member for Community Services at Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “Our museums are great places for families to visit over the school holidays, with a variety of creative activities on offer.
“Local residents can enjoy free admission to the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery with a Discovery Card.”
