Summer Temperatures

Our glass-roofed gallery can get very warm in the summer months. We recommend bringing water if the weather is forecast to be warm and sunny.

On your marks, get set, go! Join us for a jam-packed afternoon of activities and crafts fit for an Olympian.

Discover the ancient origins of everyone’s favourite summer sporting event, and get the low down on what it was like to compete over 2000 years ago. The Great Greek Olympic Games will get your mind racing as we test your knowledge of ancient sport and let your imagination run wild designing your very own Olympic games

So do you have what it takes to be a champion in the ancient Greek Olympics?

 

This event is part of Summer at the Museums.
