Museums for Play and Growth are FREE drop-in sessions for children 0–5 years old inspired by “50 Things to Do Before You’re Five”.

On every 4th Thursday of the month you can bring your little ones to Cliffe Castle to explore our museum, learn something new, and have a fun time.

The session includes some of the “50 Things to Do Before You’re Five” activities and a creative play zone to spark imagination, offering you and your child up to two hours of quality time spent in the museum. When the session ends, you can stay in the museum to see other exciting things.

Stay and play sessions are also available in our other museums.
You can find us on every:

  • 1st Saturday of the month in Bradford Industrial Museum
  • 2nd Friday of the month in Cartwright Hall
  • 3rd Wednesday of the month in Bolling Hall
  • 4th Thursday of the month in Cliffe Castle.

Come to play, create and learn together!
