Family Fun

The REME Museum has activities to keep the whole family busy from home or during a visit. With trails, worksheets and workshops there's lots to do and explore.

Trails

For our young visitors we offer seasonal trails full of objects to spot and questions to answer during their Museum visit. These trails are designed to get children engaged with the Museum displays and with REME history. You can pick up a trail map at our front desk or download our current Hide and Seek and i-Spy Trail by clicking the link.

Our trails often feature our hand painted REME gnomes. One of our gnomes, @camo_gnome, travels the world in his free time. Make sure to follow his Instagram!

Quizzes

Looking to test your REME wisdom? Download our REME Knowledge Quiz by clicking the link. All the answers can by found while exploring the Museum so why not print out before your visit? Copies can also be collected from our front desk.

Playpark

Our brand new playpark is now open, which means your visit just got a whole lot more fun. We've got plenty of REME-themed equipment for your young ones to enjoy. The playpark can be accessed during museum opening hours from the outdoor café area or round the side of the museum building from the car park.

From helicopter slides to climbing frames, there's something for everyone in our brand new playpark

We were very excited to open the playpark with help from the REME family

Holiday activities

During half terms and holidays we regularly host family workshops in our dedicated education space. These are free to attend but places require booking. Check our Events page for upcoming holiday activities.

When its sunny you can tackle our outdoor assault course. See our Events page for dates.

Event days

Keep an eye out for upcoming family friendly event days at the Museum. We host an annual programme of special events from our Christmas Fair to our summer World War Two Day that provide fun for all ages. Visit our Events page for upcoming event days.

There was lots to see and do at our 2019 World War Two Day.

Online Learning

Our online learning resources and YouTube Channel feature lots of exciting activities you can do from home. Accept the #REMEMuseumChallenge and get stuck into STEM, art and history projects from home.

In this video our Education Officer guides you through making an egg box helicopter out of recycled materials. Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for much more.
