We are delighted to be able to invite families to join us for our exciting summer discovery sessions.

Our summer sessions have been carefully designed to be fun and engaging, whilst also developing children's skills and knowledge as young historians.

History Detectives

Calling all history detectives, we need your help! Join us each fortnight throughout the summer holidays to solve a series of historical mysteries. Learn and put into practice the detective skills of a historian, and use the historical sources in our collection to uncover clues and reveal more about three key historical periods - the prehistoric Ice Age, Anglo Saxons & Vikings and the Victorians.

Week 1 & 2 - A Mammoth Mystery

Week 3 & 4 - An Anglo Saxon Secret

Week 5 & 6 - A Victorian Era Enigma

Each session must be booked separately.
