Our MEND Restoration Works finished in May and we are currently reinstating some of our gallery spaces. Check out What’s On.
Families
Families can explore Bruce Castle together through a wide range of free events, interactive resources in our galleries and our dedicated family gallery; the Little Parlour.
The Park has a children’s play area just behind the Museum.

Little Parlour - now open!
Explore interactives, dress-up in costume, read a book, or try a puzzle.
Our dedicated family gallery has now been re-opened - we've given it a new name and improved the space!
It is aimed at parents and carers with children aged 3-8 years old.
Organised groups e.g. nurseries, play-centres etc. are only admitted to the gallery if they have pre-booked through our education team.
There can occasionally be a wait for the gallery if an educational session is taking place.
