Families
A museum for your family
We take the collections and stories of Leighton House and Sambourne House as the starting points for creating a unique Family Fun programme, delivered by a team of museum educators and subject specialists, as well as by professional creatives, including celebrated artists and authors. Sometimes our Royal College of Music residents join in too! We also run special events, from summer fetes to Christmas celebrations and our YouTube library and Learning Resources are at hand for extra inspiration!
The new facilities at Leighton House, including a dedicated Learning Centre, the free to access De Morgan Cafe and garden, baby change and a safe place to store buggies and scooters, mean we can offer a warm welcome to the youngest of visitors.

Our programme of Family Fun on Saturdays provides with opportunities to learn new skills, discover secrets of our collections and get messy!
