The Rats are Back!

This October half term (from Tuesday 26 October), try out our brand-new ‘Rats and Dairy’ trail. Rats like to eat cattle feed, milk, cheese and butter, so it was really important to keep them out of dairies! As you explore the galleries can you spot the rats and the objects they’ve decided to explore?

The rats will remain in their hiding places beyond October half term.

You can download copies of our Rats and Dairy spotter sheet and trail before you visit:
