Family-friendly events

May half term crafts

The theme for this school holiday is music and fashion. The Assembly Rooms once famed for Georgian fashion and music that played during the 'season' will be bringing this out in crafts. Decorate a fan, make a Georgian paper doll, try musical snap and even learn fan language. There's sure to be something to entertain every age group.

Running from Saturday 25 May until Sunday 2 June, 10am to 3pm. Activities will be available in the Card Room for free, so simply drop in via the entrance on Alfred Street (opposite Boston Tea Party) to have a go.

Festival of Nature talks

As part of Bath and Bristol's Festival of Nature, Bath Assembly Rooms will be hosting an afternoon of talks. Freelance journalist Ali Vowles will introduce a range of talks suitable for children aged 5+. Talks include Cam from CBBC, science rapper Jon Chase, Turi King and Hugh Warwick. To see the full line-up and book your free place, visit the Festival of Nature website.
