The Beacon – Bowling Park

Museums for Play and Growth

A free stay-and-play session for under-5s and their grown-ups in Bowling Park and Bolling Hall Museum.

Bradford District Museums & Galleries brought their popular Museums for Play & Growth strand to The Beacon in Bowling.

This drop-in stay-and-play session was open to all families with children aged 0–5.

We started in The Beacon with creative activities to build our own den using sensory materials; and played inside with bubbles or outdoors in the park. We then followed clues and signs guiding the way from Bowling Park to beautiful Bolling Hall Museum, where this playful session ended.
