About this event

Spiky Crafts is a drop-in crafting session at Leeds City Museum celebrating all things spiky, from hedgehogs and porcupines to armoured dinosaurs. It runs across two days during the school holidays, with sessions available between 10am and 12pm or 1pm and 3pm each day.

Pop into the drop-in crafting area to design your own spiky defence or decorate your own hedgehog. It is a relaxed, come-and-go format, so there is no need to book a specific slot.

While you are there, pick up a Hedgehog Trail at the museum to discover what the hedgehogs are up to this May. It is a lovely way to extend the visit and keep little ones engaged beyond the craft table.

The event is included in admission on a Give What You Can basis, making it a great low-cost option for families and under-fives during the half-term break.

Drop in between 10am-12pm or 1pm-3pm, so plan your slot before heading out.
Pick up the free Hedgehog Trail at the museum to keep little ones busy beyond the craft table.
It's a drop-in, so no need to queue at a set time, but earlier sessions tend to be quieter.
Admission is Give What You Can, so bring whatever you're comfortable contributing.
Leeds City Museum is right on Millennium Square, handy for a post-craft run-around outside.
