Family Day at Bromley House Library (Heritage Open Days)

  ↵

Kids are taking over one of Nottingham's most intriguing historic spaces this Heritage Open Day!

For this year's Heritage Open Day, Bromley House Library are opening their doors to children to explore the building and get hands on with heritage activities. Reserve free places now.

Dating back to 1752, the Grade II* listed Bromley House sits in the heart of Nottingham city centre. Home to their lending library since 1821, the building is full of historic charm, with reading rooms packed full of original architectural features.

Activities on the day are aimed at children aged 4-12. During your timed slot (approximately 45 minutes) kids can get hands on at our 'conservation station', meet our conservators, and help to clean some of our dusty rare books. In the children's reading room, they'll go 'through the wardrobe' to visit Narnia! There'll also be a stop off in our Photographic Studio to capture their portrait and create a 'Victorian' carte de visite. Weather permitting, after your timed slot, there will be a kids' trail and other activities to enjoy in the walled garden.

Please note that this event is for children and their grown-ups, and children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Please book a ticket for each child attending (there's no need to book additional tickets for accompanying adults, maximum of two adults per child please!)

Places are limited, so early booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
