This workshop is for home educated children aged 7+ and their families. 

The Wakefield Museums and Castles collection is full of intriguing old objects. Objects that pose countless quizzical questions and inspire many imaginative ideas. Join us for a ​fun and challenging escape room session inspired by our collections!

In this workshop, we will:

  • search for clues and decipher codes hidden amongst artefacts from across the ages

  • use our deduction skills to escape from the museum's education space

  • uncover where the final clue leads

This session is delivered in partnership with the Community and Family Learning Team at Wakefield Council’s Adult Education Service.
