Museums for Play and Growth at Cliffe Castle

Museums for Play and Growth are FREE drop-in sessions for children 0–5 inspired by “50 Things to Do Before You’re Five”. Every fourth Thursday of the month, from 10.30 to 12.30, at Cliffe Castle Museum, you can come to spend quality time with your child and build positive habits of visiting museums from an early age.

Sessions include themed toys linking play to the museum (animals, bugs, dinosaurs), rhyme and story time to support language, games and activities to encourage socialisation, plus tea, coffee and biscuits to make families feel welcome.
