Special Events
Horniman Kids Sleepover
Saturday 8 December, 7pm–10am
Join us after hours for the Horniman’s first family sleepover. Come to the Museum once the public have left, and the Walrus is tucked up in bed, to explore the Horniman by night. Roll out your sleeping bag and camp out in the galleries, next to a dodo, or even a tiger. The evening will be full of fun activities and exciting exploration such as storytelling, crafts and trails.
Please bear in mind that this will be a very exciting experience and be prepared that you may not get much sleep on the night!
A light breakfast is included in the morning, plus hot drinks for adults. Horniman staff will be on site throughout the event. Ticket prices: Child ticket £60. Adult ticket £60.
