Get hands on with nature-inspired crafts in the Learning Centre, make some eco-friendly reindeer food to take home, then follow our festive trail around the museum galleries.

Sign up on the day for panto-style storytelling in the theatre with the team from Macastory. Full of festive tales, songs and plenty of joining in opportunities, you’ll feel merry in no time.
