We warmly welcome families at Norton Priory and there are lots of hands-on activities and family trails and quizzes for children of all ages, as well as a varied programme of events.

Children particularly enjoy the St Christopher Gallery, with its books, dressing up and games, as well as the Tots Garden with plants to touch, see, smell and hear.

There arefree family storysacks, with lovely stories about Norton Priory and fun games for families to do together. You can borrow a storysack from reception with a small refundable deposit.

There is plenty of room in our 38 acre site to run around and play and we encourage children to have fun in the museum!

There are dedicated picnic areas in the Museum grounds, as well as a family friendly café. There are also baby changing facilities at the Museum. At the main entrance there is a shop which sells pocket money gifts specially for children and there is an additional shop at the Walled Garden where you can buy gifts, seasonal fruits and vegetables and refreshments.

We ask that visitors supervise their children at all times.
