Children´s Activity Area´s - The Sobriety Project

Under Fives Play Area.

This play area has been created in the Yorkshire Waterways Museum foyer especially for children under five years old. It is colourful, sale and imaginative and links with the story and heritage of the waterways.

There is also a new role play dressing up area for children. It is free of charge and makes an ideal place for families to meet up for coffee or lunch and a great place for grandparents to entertain their grandchildren during school holidays. This has been funded by the Humber Museums Partnership.

An under fives outside play area created with a trim trail, role play boat, loud speakers, and colourful springing toys. These were installed by a very reputable company PlayDale from Cumbria and funded as part of the Tesco carrier bags scheme.
