This new trail introduces 13 objects from our collections which illustrate the theme ‘Edible England’.

An illustrated booklet provides more details about the selected objects and can be used alongside or independently of the ‘Edible England’ trail sheet for children.

On this trail sheet, children can have fun spotting all 13 objects and the knitted vegetables hidden near them around the museum. They can then complete their own vegetable patch by drawing the vegetables they find!
