About

Get creative with junk modelling to create a digging contraption

Channel your inner farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean to creative a nifty digging vehicle out of junk materials. You learn about the story and discover what the farmers did to try and chase after Fantastic Mr Fox before building your own digging machine. Decide on a moving part to include and then build with recycled materials from there. We'll finish by trying out our machines together. The perfect activity for families to do together.

£5 per maker in addition to Museum entry

For age 5 and up
