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.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult
Bradford District Museums & Galleries are bringing their popular Museums for Play & Growth strand to the Beacon in Bowling.
This drop-in stay-and-play session is open to all families with children aged 0–5 – and it’s completely free.
We’ll start in the Beacon where you can get involved in creative activities to build their own den using sensory materials; and playing inside with bubbles or outdoors in the park. And then from here, the children will follow clues and signs guiding the way from Bowling Park to beautiful Bolling Hall Museum, where this playful session will end.
