Ford Forge open at Easter

Never mind the Easter Bunny - come and discover Easter Bats!

We'll be reopening the museum on Easter Sunday, with batty activities! Bring the kids along and find out about our resident bats and make a flying bat puppet. Or you could colour a bat or a mini Easter egg to take home. You could even make a pink bat - they are very rare, but they do exist.

Our brown long-eared bats, of course, will be tucked up in bed, well our of sight in the roof, because they sleep all day, but we'll have some bats for you to find around the Forge. There might even be a prize for best bat name, so get your thinking caps on!

We'll be open from 1pm to 3.30pm. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

An imaginary pink bat! Can you make a better one?
