Family Events

We always work hard to offer events that families can take part in together. Some of our most exciting events so far include Movie Mondays, Family Forensics Fridays and our Christmas Grotto weekend.

Here you can find out about what we are focusing on with visiting families and learn about our upcoming events.

October 2025

It’s October already – the nights are drawing in and the police are preparing for ‘Mischief Fortnight’, some of the busiest weeks of the year. The museum education team are incredibly busy too, with school visits on almost every available day between now and the half term break bringing us visitors from age seven to 25.

We are all looking forward to lots of upcoming visits from groups of ghost hunters as we draw closer to All Hallows Eve – so stay tuned to find out if we catch any ghosts and don’t forget to join us during the half term break to join Lock-Up Mouse’s Detective Academy and make your own ghostly decoration.
