Family Day: London Fun
Kick start your summer holidays with London-inspired crafts and stories with our friends from around the capital.
Are you keen to find out about London’s legendary landmarks? Activities include:
- Explore different approaches to building as part of this capital day out.
- Hear about the red London bus and its thrilling jump over the Thames, along with more lively London tales.
- Get creative with animal art and coronation crafts, while enjoying England’s oldest garden.
- Try your hand at historic printing skills, as we celebrate the anniversary of the first printing press arriving next door to Westminster Abbey.
We are joined by friends from the Family in Museums Network including London Zoo, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, the British Library, Royal Collection and the Royal Institute of British Architects. Celebrate the best the city has to offer in our very own College Garden.
