Jenny Mutch, learning officer at the museum said: "We have a wide range of exciting workshops and events taking place during the summer holidays and we look forward to welcoming lots of children during this time. Workshops are suitable for children of all ages and most are run on a drop in basis. A visit to the museum is also a must as well as the new Missing of the Somme exhibition which opened just a few weeks ago."

As part of the activities children can get a stamp on their passport for every session attended.
