About Pig On the Loose! Sensory Storytelling

Imagine it’s just another busy day in the workhouse garden: watering plants, scaring off the birds and the fresh veg needs taking to the kitchen. But somethings wrong, the workhouse pig has broken loose! Can you help get them back in the piggery before they cause too much mischief?

Join Liz in the garden as she brings the story to life through engaging (and sometimes messy!) hands on activities. Each session is outside and lasts approximately 1 hr/45 minutes /50 minutes which is a mixture of guided storytelling and activities as well as the opportunity to run around and explore the garden.

This activity will be held on Saturday 1st and 22nd August. The first session will start at 12:15pm and the second session at 2:15pm. There is no need to book – just come along and join the fun! This activity is included in the price of your annual pass, or you can pay £2 per child on the day if you do not wish to purchase a pass.

This is one of the many fun and creative activities included in the price of your annual pass across our three museums, or. Make sure you check our ‘Things To Do’ page to see what we have coming up.

Please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult. This activity is suitable for all ages but please be aware that younger children will need adult supervision. Handwipes will be provided.
