North Lincolnshire Museum is inviting budding historians and archaeologists (aged 8-12 years old) to join our Archaeology and History Club. Children will explore the world of history and archaeology, learn new skills and get hands on with artefacts. Sessions will be led by experienced members of our learning team and will be held one Saturday a month between 10:30 and 12:30 at the Museum. Sessions must be booked online and the Participation Agreement must be completed and returned to the team before their first session. Age restrictions ensure sessions meet safeguarding standards and must be adhered to.
