Events and Exhibitions

Our new Events and Exhibitions leaflet is here!

We are really excited to have our new leaflet, detailing forthcoming events and exhibitions at all three of our museums.  The leaflet is currently being distributed throughout the region, and is available to download here.  

If you want to be sure of getting your own copy, why not pop into one of our museums to pick one up?

Not only that, but (while stocks last) the museums are offering visiting families a booklet with money-off-vouchers, a fridge magnet, a special Easter Egg Cup Hunt (with prize draw!), and even a template to make your own Easter Card (based on the 1950s egg cups below!).

How amazing are these 1950s egg cups?!  

• At Wakefield Museum make a topsy-turvy animal; try on a wig; make a Tudor building; spot enemy planes and spend some time in the Front Room – an area for children to play and enjoy. 

• Come face-to-face with a roman soldier at CastlefordForum Museum, try on some miners clogs and discover the unique and fascinating Iron Age chariot.

• For those with a sweet tooth Pontefract Museum is a must see - discover the roots of liquorice in the town.  Can you spot the golden lion and a Victorian washing machine?!

There are also free workshops for families
