Dorking Museum runs family activities for younger children once a month at Dorking Library
Family Treasure Hunt
Be history detectives. How can you tell parts of Dorking are old? Why not try a family tour of Dorking? Find out about Dorking’s past as the children look for clues of the past by finding features that match the photos on the quiz sheet. Collect a prize at the end of the walk.
The tour lasts about 90 minutes and leaves from the museum. Children must be accompanied. To enquire about arranging a private tour for your family please email [email protected]
Museum volunteer, Robin Cooper, has created this brilliant paper model of The Mayflower for you to print out and create at home.
