Join us at the museum for Boris Bear Cubs - perfect for your youngest museum fans under 5 years old! Our sessions take place in the Wells Suite on the first floor of the museum which is a lovely larger space with more room to play.

Each 90 minute session follows a topic related to our displays and collections and includes fun play areas, activities, story and song times. Sessions run every other Thursday during term time to 18 December, and then returns in the Spring between 8 January and 12 March 2026!

Siblings under 12 months are free to attend.

Our upcoming themes are:

  • 4 December: Frogs
  • 18 December: Winter
  • 8 January: Boris the Bear
  • 22 January: Love your city
  • 5 February: Dinosaurs
  • 26 February: Space
