The Beacon – Cliffe Castle Park
Little Explorers, Festival of Archaeology
Bradford District Museums & Galleries
Craft activities and exploration stations for little archaeologists and scientists.
This drop-in stay-and-play session was open to all families with children aged 0–5 – and was completely free.
At this interactive event designed especially for little ones, children explored a world of hands-on activities that sparked curiosity and imagination. We dug into kinetic sand to uncover mysterious objects, cracked open frozen dinosaur eggs, and took part in archaeological adventures through interactive projector games.
