Why are some eyes blue and some brown? Do you know where a horse’s knee is? And what is it really like to grow up in Liverpool?
Head along to the Museum of Liverpool to discover more about the world around us, how our bodies work and what real life scientists at the University of Liverpool are doing to help us all be healthier and happier. Join them for a fantastic FREE drop in event that’s fun for children of all ages, (and adults too!) Try your hand at their interactive activities, follow the treasure trail and be wowed by the wonders of science.
Here is a taste of what you can expect:
🐶 Furry Frontiers – From hooves to heartbeats, from furry friends and future vets, come and explore some paw-sitive discoveries happening right here in Liverpool! Can you find a dog’s heartbeat? Can you find the horse’s knee? Might you have what it takes to become a vet? Come along and find out!
👶 Children Growing Up in Liverpool – Many of us call Liverpool home, but what does it mean to grow up here? And can living here play a part in our health and how we feel? The Children Growing Up in Liverpool study is following 10,000 babies and their families to understand how Liverpool can be a happier and healthier place for all of us.
While you’re at the museum, why not check out the Young Voices Big Ideas pop-up display to hear more about the exciting research happening right here in Liverpool!
🧬 Gene-ius creations – We all have a genetic code that makes us unique – from the colour of our eyes and even the shape of our ears! See if you can copy the code faster than our cells and make your very own bracelet to take home.
See you at the museum!

What was that noise? A footstep on the stair? Your bedroom window creaking open? No, it was just the memory of the ghost story you heard in Sudley’s Library. Wasn’t it…?
What’s that shadow dancing against your bedroom wall? Is it some long dead ghost? Perhaps a ghoul from the bowels of hell come to terrify you? No, it’s just the creepy craft you made in the Sudley House Craft Room. Wasn’t it….?
What’s that at the window? Some creeping monster come to taunt you? A reaper come to carry you off? No, it’s the memory of a ghoulish pumpkin from the Sudley Pumpkin Trail. Wasn’t it….?
Hallowe’en at Sudley House will be family friendly but they do recommend that their very youngest visitors might like to be pre-warned that the theme of the event will be a bit spooky! Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Adam Partridge, who regularly appears on television programmes as an antiques expert and auctioneer, will be joined by his team of experienced Valuers at what many consider the most iconic building in the city.
For one day only the public are invited to have their items valued for free and are welcome to consign them for auction at Adam Partridge’s Liverpool Saleroom on Jordan Street in The Baltic Triangle.
There will also be an exclusive chance for people to view items from The Royal Liver Building archives, which are not usually on public display.
The building will be open from 9am – 5pm so everyone can make the most of the fully accessible ground floor area and fully licensed cafe during their visit.
Join Bluecoat in their beautiful Grade I listed building for a delicious two course Christmas dinner, prepared by their in-house chef.

Mildred, Tate’s art-loving cat, wants you to help her find 6 artworks posted around the inner quay of the Royal Albert Dock.
Collect a free Art Trail booklet from Tate Liverpool + RIBA North at Mann Island or The Nest art & design shop at The Royal Albert Dock. Follow the map on the back to find the artworks. There’s plenty of space and guidance inside the booklet to encourage young visitors to create their own amazing art along the way.
Inspired by the much-loved children’s book about Mildred the Gallery Cat at Tate, the Art Trail is available to take part in throughout the year and is a self-led, free, family activity suitable for children aged 7-11.
Mildred also likes word games! There are 5 hidden letters near the artworks that can be rearranged to spell a word.
The Art Trail is a great way for families to spend time together, doing something that is both creative and active.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own pencils to complete the trail.
Bring the whole family for a session full of eerie fun, creative crafting, and monster moves. Make your own spooky decorations with Bluecoat, and join a hair-raising dance led by artists from Movema. Don’t miss out—book now to avoid disappointment!
Sun 20 Oct, 2-3.30pm

Child: £15
Two child bundle: £26
Parents, carers, and crawlers go free
Children aged 4+ can participate in the session without a grown-up but must be supervised.
Makers + Shakers is a joint partnership brought to you by Bluecoat and Movema.
Join Tate Liverpool for family friendly arts and crafts for the October half-term holidays. Visit the free Brickworks display and be inspired by the brilliant bricks on show. The Learning Space is open every day for visiting families- a space to relax and create with art games, colouring-in, books, toys and more!
Activities include:
• Bricktionary – play against friends and family, put your building block construction skills to the test and communicate clues to your teammates.
• Poem Wall – Get inspired by Saloua Raouda Choucair’s Poem Wall art work on display in Brickworks and then unleash your creativity on our poem wall. Write, draw, jumble and swap building blocks to create your visual poem.
• What’s behind the door? Check out Jannis Kounellis’s work in Gallery one and then head to the learning space to help answer the mystery of what’s lurking behind that door!
During the October half-term, from Monday 28 October to Friday 1 November, there will be free, family friendly tours of Brickworks and a chance to create your own art to take away.
Bricks can be used to make boss artworks but younger visitors may be wondering why an artist has used tights in their sculpture or why a pile of bricks is classed as art, so Tate’s learning team is here to help!
Tours last approximately 25 minutes, followed by a 20-minute art activity. Places are limited.
Join us as we take over our Performance Space with a weekend of creative activities inspired by our history as the oldest arts centre in the UK. We’ll have artist led activities, games and much more. Suitable for all the family.
Free, drop in.
