The Big Saturday Family events happen once a month here at The Manchester Museum with each event having a different focus; this year has seen events taking place focusing on Froglife, Ancient Egypt, Autumn on the allotment and Chocolate! Most activities are drop-in and are free, depending on the activity some may need to be booked on the day and may cost up to £1:50. A more recent addition to the Big Saturday events is a sensory and exploratory area especially for babies and children aged 0-5 and their adults and families. The following images show how much fun everyone  had at the Ancient Egypt event.
