Visit the Charterhouse for a creative day out with the family. Free activities are available every day and special workshops run during school holidays.
Until we can re-open, and welcome families once again at the Charterhouse, we have online and outdoor activities available. Book your audience with Queen Elizabeth I, get creative and Design a Coat of Arms, or follow our Family Garden Trail in Charterhouse Square – details here.
Help us find Thomas Sutton’s escaped Talbot greyhounds. Discover medieval monks, regal royals, terrible Tudors and naughty schoolboys along the way. Can you help us find all six?

Pick and Mix
Everyone looks at things differently. Walk around the museum having a look at all the different objects. Pick your favourite and least favourite objects. Why have you chosen them? Discuss your choices and reasons with your group, their reasons might surprise you!
Who’s Who?
Choose one of the previous groups of residents at the Charterhouse. It would be a monk, Tudor, schoolboy or Brother. Act out your character and let the rest of your group guess who you are.
