Grosvenor Museum HODs Family Activities

Come along and join us at the Grosvenor Museum for our new HODs family activities. Follow our Architectural Trail and help us build a replica of the Museum

Why did they make that…like that?

Find out why there’s a tiny turret on the front of the building, and a higher-than-normal ceiling in the Georgian Parlour – plus other architectural quirks – by following the trail around (and a little bit outside) the museum.

• Suitable for all ages.

• Pick up a trail from Reception.

Build a sort-of Grosvenor Museum

Help make a definitely-not-accurate model of the Museum by decorating a chunky wooden brick to represent one of the building’s architectural features. Bricks will be added to the display in the Entrance Hall every few days.

• Suitable for all ages and architectural abilities.

• Pick up a brick and leaflet from Reception.

The Architectural Trail and model activity are available on all days of the festival except Monday during the Museum opening times.

Tuesday - Saturday: 10.30am-5pm and Sunday: 1pm-4pm.
