Families can enjoy a ‘monster’ programme of things to see and do at Bath & North East Somerset Council’s museums over the Christmas holidays.

The Victoria Art Gallery will host Myths and Monsters, a colourful celebration of children’s book illustration, with accompanying monster-themed activities for kids.

The Fashion Museum will have a crafty Tinsel Toes session linked to the Shoephoria! exhibition, and young visitors to the Roman Baths will be able to follow a

special trail around the Baths, searching for Sulinus the Stonemason as they explore.

All activities are suitable for children aged three and over. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
