Seems there are plenty of family activity sessions lined up at the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery to keep youngsters happy during the summer holidays.
Bath & North East Somerset Council-run museums are hosting a number of activity sessions suitable for all ages – from discovering Roman fashions to creating collages inspired by nature. All are free to local resident Discovery Card holders; otherwise normal admission prices apply.
Councillor Patrick Anketell-Jones (Conservative, Lansdown), the Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Development, said: “Our new administration wants to make sure that the whole community can benefit from the wonderful Heritage assets we have in our area. This is a great opportunity for families from across Bath and North East Somerset to see what’s on offer at the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery.”
