Please allow up to 1.5 hours for your session. The mouse hunt and cottage tour will last up to 45 minutes, which will give up to 45 minutes to enjoy the crafts and refreshments in the Cricketers.
Meet us at the Cricketers Arms at 14 Emlyn Square, from there a short walk to the Railway Village Museum at 34 Faringdon Road, and then return to the Cricketers for a delicious hot chocolate and a chance to make your very own angelic mouse.
Booking is strongly advised to secure your spot as space is very limited in the museum.
This family-friendly event welcomes everyone—there’s no need to be a child to enjoy the fun! Tickets are £5 for 1 child and 1 accompanying adult. Additional adults are £1.50 each, so bring the whole family along for this festive mouse hunt adventure. Please note that all children must be accompanied by at least 1 responsible adult at all times.
Please note there are no toilet facilities at the Museum, but toilets will be available at the nearby supporting site: Cricketers.
Wheelchair ramps are available and the ground floor of the Museum is fully accessible for wheelchairs. Space in the cottage is limited and the stairs are steep so please take care. This is also why we ask that pushchairs are not brought inside the cottage.
