Free stay and play sessions for children 0-5 and their parents/carers

In Museums for Play & Growth sessions, we offer up to two hours of free, fun, and educational play for children. We believe our youngest visitors deserve the most playful and enriching experiences in museums. To make that happen, we use a variety of methods, including 50 Things to Do Before You’re Five, in our play sessions.
You can expect:
- Museum-themed toys to spark imagination
- Rhyme and story time to support language development
- Games and activities to encourage socialisation among children
- Refreshments – tea, coffee and biscuits to feel welcomed and comfortable
Come and spend quality time with your child, build positive habits of visiting museums from an early age, and grow together!
Museums for Play & Growth takes place in each of our museums once a month, all year round. Check other dates on our website here: https://bradfordmuseums.org/whats-on/early-years/
Come to play, create and learn together!
