Scrooge; the Mouse & a Victorian House: Festive Family Hunt

December 14, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

£1.50 – £3.50

On the table, on the stair, these naughty mice are everywhere!

The Railway Village Museum is ready for Christmas, but what’s this? Twenty one naughty mice are hiding throughout its charming rooms!
Can you solve the festive clues, spot the mice and warn them they only have one more night before Scrooge the cat returns!
Included in the ticket is a chance for children and grown ups to enjoy a hot chocolate and mince pie and make a traditional peg doll angel to take home. Squeak!
*The tour begins at The Cricketers, 14 Emlyn Square, SN15BN

Details

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.

Where is this happening?

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.

Who can book?

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.

Facilities

Please note there are no toilet facilities at the Museum, but toilets will be available at the nearby supporting site: Cricketers.

Accessibility

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.

Transport and Parking

By public transport:
Swindon Railway Village is easily reachable by train or bus, and we are only a short walking distance from the Central Bus Station.

By car:
There are a number of Car Parks conveniently located around the Railway Village, but we recommend using  Bristol Street Car Park.
