Get set for February half-term.

There will be plenty to keep young visitors entertained at the Victoria Art Gallery, Roman Baths and Fashion Museum. Which as residents of B&NES you get into free.

At the Roman Baths, children will be able to create a Roman-style bookmark or bookplate to take home, while the Fashion Museum will host a funky sneaker design workshop inspired by the Shoephoria! display.

Councillor Dine Romero, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Communities and Culture at Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: "If you haven't visited the brilliant Myths and Monsters exhibition, don't miss your last chance to see it over February half-term. The exhibition is free for local residents – as are the craft sessions, which are running throughout the week, from Monday to Friday."

All activities are free for Bath and North East Somerset residents with a Discovery Card or relevant ID*. Suitable for children aged 3+. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
