Summer Holiday Activity

Families can enjoy free activities at the museum this summer. During the school holidays there are hands-on making events and performances to inspire the whole family and encourage learning. All events and activities can be found in the What’s On section of this website.

Make a Pressed Flower Bookmark this summer holiday!

Nightingale knew a lot about flowers and herbs and their medicinal and nutritional properties. Florence also loved to read and write, creating a pressed flower bookmark with us is a fun way to celebrate this. Visit the museum, learn about Florence, participate in this free activity, and take home your very own bookmark!

We would love everyone to be able to take part in this activity so if you can’t make it to the museum please use our free ‘How To’ guide below to make your own pressed flower bookmark at home.
