Throughout the year (particularly during school holidays) we run a fun mix of engagement activities in the galleries, from object handling to craft activities. These opportunities help our visitors engage more with our collection and the stories of the soldiers who’ve served in our regiment.

We’ll give you all the information you need to succeed, and welcome your ideas and suggestions to make the work we do even better.
