Half Term Activities
19-21 February 2025
Celebrate 2025 International Day of Women and Girls in Science by coming on our inspiring inventors trail – free fun for all the family.
Across the Museum you will find different inventions designed to solve a problem or make life easier. Many of the inventions were designed, led or inspired by women such as Caroline Haslett – an electrical engineer and Mary Anderson who patented the design that led to the modern windscreen wiper.
Hands-on family craft activities (Wednesday to Friday, 11am to 3pm): Make your own windmill inspired by the DANDO windpump here at Amberley.
On Wednesday 19 February have a go at the traditional craft of woodturning with the West Sussex Woodturners and take home a small wooden keepsake (£1.50 charge per person).
Pottery Studio with Nancy Scantlebury-Thompson: Unleash your creativity with clay! Join our resident potter to make beetles and bugs to take home and paint. Sessions run from Saturday 15th to Sunday 26th February, with a small additional fee of £2.50 each.
February Half Term is the perfect season for fun family visit to Amberley Museum with nostalgic bus and train rides around the site, nature walks, craft demonstrations, have-a-go pottery (additional charge applies for pottery) and seasonal activities, all included in your general admission.
