Join us for an exciting May and June, with an especially jam-packed May half-term! With plenty of exciting exhibitions to visit during opening hours, such as FOOD: beyond the plate (on until 29th June 2025) and Exeter’s fine art collection: a feast for the eyes (on until 22nd March 2026).
Kids’ events to highlight in May half term:
- Fedoras and Flappers, 27th May 2025: get involved and make your very own cardboard fedora to channel your inner gangster or to fashion a Flapper Headband, you will leave this activity with a piece worthy of the Jazz Age!
- Print an Art Deco tote bag, 28th May 2025: come along to explore creatively with art deco designs and printing onto tote bags, yes you get to take them home!
- Meet Characters from the past, 29th May 2025: travel back in time and meet characters from the past here at RAMM! Speak to a Tudor about what life was like back then or a pre-historic lady who may be roaming the corridors! No ticket purchase required to enjoy.
Activities for the little ones
Check out Musical Moments Around the World, a wonderful hands on activity for your under 5 year-old to explore a range of instruments from across the globe, every Thursday during term time. We will also be hosting two Pancakes and Pierogi events in May and June (21st May and 24th June), that involves a gentle storytelling adventure accompanied by puppet guides Pam Cake and Pierre Og, perfect for children aged 3-5.
Look out for special events:
‘Tea for Two: Afternoon tea in the 1920s’ on the 1st May 2025, a fascinating talk to kickstart May by Dr Paul Cleave, exploring the traditions and etiquette of afternoon tea in the 1920s. This talk has been inspired by the FOOD: beyond the plate exhibition.
On the 7th May 2025, we are delighted to be hosting the founder of Riverford, Guy Singh-Watson, in an evening talk about his personal relationship with food and how his love of farming and food led to the creation of Riverford.
And on 13 June join artist Jacob van der Beugel for an intriguing (and free!) discussion about demystifying data and how we, as humans, must foster more sustainable and resilient data practices!
