JOIN IN THE FAMILY WILDLIFE TRAIL AT BRADING ROMAN VILLA THIS HALF-TERM

This February half-term, investigate the wonderful wildlife at Brading Roman Villa as part of The Twitchers Museum Adventure, organised by Kids in Museums and Walker Books. The egg-citing national family trail celebrates the release of Feather, the latest book in the Twitchers Series from bestselling children’s author M. G. Leonard. Join birdwatching detectives the Twitchers and explore the beautiful birds and amazing animals in Brading Roman Villa. Pick up a free (with entrance to the Museum) activity sheet to join in and have a hoot with your family. Find all the feathered friends hidden in the collection and make your own family pledge to protect local wildlife. Complete the trail and get a free Twitchers sticker! Over 50 museums across the UK will be taking part over the February half-term and encouraging families to enjoy a visit to their local museum. The activity will run from 10th February to 25th February 2024. Families will also have the chance to enter a caw-some national prize draw competition to win one of five bundles of all four books in the Twitchers Series. Kids in Museums is inviting children to design their own bird or animal sidekick and share their drawing on Twitter/X or Instagram with the hashtag #TwitchersMuseumAdventure and tag @kidsinmuseums for a chance to win. As if this wasn’t enough, from 13th to 16th February, Brading Roman Villa will also be investigating the Roman origins of Saint Valentine’s Day, inviting families to make a Roman inspired love token with air-dry clay to take home for just £2. They can also make a Valentine’s themed mosaic coaster for £3.50, with all materials supplied. On Wednesday 14th February we will be joined by our lady of the Villa, Livia, who will be telling the story of Cupid and Psyche, an ageless and family-friendly love story, at 11:30, 12:30 and 14:00.
