An adult helps a child with a hands-on craft activity at a table indoors. Both are holding small objects and concentrating on a creative task.

About

Join Bradford Museums at Darley Street Market for a hands-on family activity exploring the district’s four museums through a giant interactive map. Children can meet the museums’ mascots – Suzie Squirrel, Dave Dragon, Billie Boar and Shelly Sheep – and help bring the map to life by drawing, colouring and adding details inspired by the animals and the museums they represent.

Perfect for young explorers, this free creative activity encourages families to discover more about Bradford’s museums while enjoying a fun and engaging day out in the heart of the city centre.
