February half-term at the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery

This February half-term, children can learn to play a Roman game, dress up as a Roman, make a fashion puppet, and create a crafty cat or a dancing figure at Bath & North East Somerset Council’s museums.

There are family-friendly activities running throughout the half-term week at the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery.

Councillor Paul Crossley, cabinet member for Community Services at Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “We hope that local families will enjoy all of the fun and creative activities on offer at our museums. There’s something happening every day during February half-term, and all activities are free for Bath and North East Somerset residents with a Discovery Card.”
