Bolling Hall Museum

In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II will have reigned for 70 years making it her Platinum Jubilee year. To celebrate this historic milestone, a bank holiday weekend from the 2nd to 5th of June 2022 was declared for four days of public events and community activities.
As part of the exhibition ‘Rhyme or Reason’, around Bolling Hall Museum are nursery rhymes and information about what they really mean.
Look out for the crown on nursery rhymes with royal connections and find out which King or Queen they relate to.
How many nursery rhymes about royalty can you find?
We are also running craft activities for the children across the bank holiday weekend!
