Children can enjoy an array of fun activities at the Roman Baths, Fashion Museum and Victoria Art Gallery this Easter holidays.
Try your hand at French knitting and make a knitting Nancy at the Fashion Museum, see how the Romans used animals in decoration and have fun making an animal fridge magnet at the Roman Baths, or create a stylish top hat or bonnet inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec at the Victoria Art Gallery.
If all that crafting makes you hungry, visit The Pump Room restaurant for an Easter Kids’ Afternoon Tea, which will be available throughout the Easter school holidays. The tea, which costs £7.95 per child, includes an Easter egg biscuit, bunny rabbit cupcake, gold chocolate rabbit, a selection of finger sandwiches and Kettle Chips.
