Playmakers! Summer Holidays at Royston Museum

30 July - 30 August 2026
Thursday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm
Free to all

Step into a world of fun and imagination at Playmakers!  £3.50 per child, or unlimited summer fun for £9 per child.

Enjoy hands-on activities and crafts throughout the Museum. Every week has a different theme from making and discovery in our Experiment! and Build! weeks to role play and puzzles during Imagine! and Solve! There’ll be a mixture of old favourites and new activities every week, meaning you can make the most of our Summer Holiday Pass throughout the summer.

We'll also have free storytelling in the courtyard on Thursdays (excluding August 27) at 11:30am and 2:30pm and a free Bubble Show on Sundays (excluding August 30) at 2:30pm

Plus, discover to toys and games people played in the past with our summer pop-up exhibition.

Useful things to know:

  • Due to the popularity of our school holiday activities, we've introduced timed slots, to help us manage numbers inside our little Museum. We'll do our best to welcome everyone to the Museum, but we recommend pre-booking to save your space.

  • Timed slots are 90 minutes long, starting every half-an-hour. Please book tickets for everyone in your group, including adults and non-participating little ones.

  • You can upgrade your ticket to a Summer Holiday Pass when booking; please purchase one pass per child. You'll be emailed a membership code for your Summer Holiday Pass; please keep this safe as you'll need it when booking next time
