Nominate us for the Family Friendly Museum Award!
Nominations are now open for the Kids in Museums Family Friendly Museum Award 2022.
Each year Kids in Museums puts the power in families’ hands to crown the winner of its annual Family Friendly Museum Award. Now in its fifteenth year, the award recognises museums, galleries and heritage sites that go the extra mile to provide a great experience for children, young people and families. Shortlisted for Kids in Museums’ Family Friendly Museum Award 2018, we’re definitely worth exploring!
This is a brilliant opportunity for us to shout about what we are doing for families at the Museum of the Order of St John. From our free school holiday family activities to our sensory-friendly workshops, we regularly update our family offer to ensure that it is fun, relevant and engaging for the whole family.
