Family Activities

Dorset Museum & Art Gallery offers something for the entire family! During the holiday season, we host a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy, including creative and crafty experiences.

Inspired by the Museum’s collection and Special Exhibitions, our volunteer-led craft activities are fun and creative. These events are included as a part of your entrance ticket or membership. The activities are ideal for children 11 years and under. Children must be supervised at all times.
