Join us over the May half term in our beautiful countryside setting for our Summer Open Days with The Story Collector by Out of the Bag Theatre.
Out of the Bag Theatre are our artists in residence who will add creativity and fun to your visit. There will be fragments of stories for children to discover, involve themselves in, collect, and play with. Across our grounds and museum there will be lots of areas to explore – get dressed up in the Wardrobe in the Woods; get creative in the Making Marquee; build a den in the Play Space and Maze; have a picnic on a cloud; and lots more!
Look out for The Story Collector who will be gathering ideas from the children for a story to be told every afternoon at 2:00pm.
This is an opportunity to explore our museum and to spend time in the peace and tranquillity of Rodgers Farm. Explore our private collection of antique toys, puppets and model theatre sets dating back to 18th century. Come for an hour, or for the day!
