From family friendly quiz trails to dressing up as a soldier, it is a great experience for the whole family.

We also run regular arts & crafts workshops and UNDER 5’s MINI TROOPER sessions on school holidays and weekends. These fun sessions allow children to discover all about the Household Cavalry, the regiments history and the exhibtions in the museum, whilst making something special to take home.
