It can be difficult to keep finding activities over the summer, but Herefordshire Museum Service is promising a fun programme of activities this summer.

The Cat and Mouse About the House-themed activities are taking place at the Black and White House Museum until September 1.

Cat and Mouse About the House trail

The Black and White House Museum is offering a self-guided adventure through the historic building for families to explore whilst looking out for the mice that have joined whilst the cat is missing. This fun trail is available for all and is included with museum admission.

Make a mouse workshops

Children can create their own felt mouse to take home in free workshops held on Wednesdays, 7, 21, and 28 August, from 1pm to 3pm. Whilst there is no need to book in advance, please note that parents and carers need to stay with their children during the activity.
