February half-term fun at the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery
Families can enjoy a host of fun, hands-on activities this February half-term at the Bath & North East Somerset Council-run Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery.
Kids can get creative and a make laurel crown, add sparkle to a royal tiara, design a Georgian hat, dress like a Roman in a toga, or create a stylish sedan chair.
All activities are included in the normal admission price. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Councillor Paul Myers, (Conservative Midsomer Norton Redfield) cabinet member for Economic and Community Regeneration, said: “There’s something for children of all ages to do in our museums over the half-term holidays. The great news for local families is that all activities are free for Bath & North East Somerset residents with a Discovery Card. We hope this will encourage local parents and carers to sign up for a Discovery Card if they don’t already have one, as well as attracting new visitors into our museums.”
