About Find Out Fridays

Explore a different theme each week on Friday afternoons with our Learning team.

Find out fascinating facts and hear surprising stories about our collections and get hands on with some of our favourite objects. Take part in a practical demonstration or have a go at a quick craft activity.

Find our Spark Cart in the Grand Gallery 13:30–16:00 Fridays during school term-time. Outside of term-time, please ask a member of staff for more information on the day.

Please note that there will be no Find Out Friday on Friday 10 October or Friday 21 November.
