Free Summer Activities at West Park Museum

From Saturday 27^th July to Sunday 1^st September
Tuesdays to Sundays (closed Mondays)

It’s West Park Museum, but not as you know it. Staff have taken a fresh look at their collections to reveal some fascinating stories which they want to share with everyone this summer. 

Many museums have objects with dark stories to tell and West Park Museum is no exception. Go along and find out about the Curious Tale of the Panda, the Horrible History of the Scold’s Bridle, or the Puzzle of the Pagoda.

From Saturday 27^th July the Museum will be full of boredom-busting activities for all the family, plus there’ll be special events over three weekends in July and August with activities and entertainment programmed by friends at the Barnaby Festival.

You’ll be looking at the collections in new ways and the staff want to know what you think. 

Go along and get involved – tell a Panda Joke, dress up and get creative, share your museum memories and stories, and design your own Lego museum of the future.

In Adventure Corner, you’ll discover extraordinary objects from across the globe that have been brought back by Macclesfield explorers. In the Gallery, every picture tells a story and you can add your own… with a twist.

The Eye-Spy Trail will help you spot unusual details hidden in the exhibits.

Share your Museum Memories with us #maccmuseums on facebook MacclesfieldMuseums, Twitter & Insta @maccmuseums
