Thank you for joining us for Summer at the Museums 2026!
21 July to 31 August 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined in our jam-packed programme of free and low-cost summer events from your local museums. We invited families to:
- Take part in craft workshops and make your own masterpieces
- Enjoy hands-on science and handle museum objects
- Meet scientists and ask them your questions
- Take on a talk or trail
- Get out in nature and discover local wildlife
... and much more! Plus, as part of the UK Government’s Great British Summer Savings scheme, there was discounted adult entry to Cambridge University Botanic Garden and the Kettle’s Yard House.
Check out the Summer Highlight on our Instagram page to see some of the events that were on offer.
