Little Locos

Little Locos is back at STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway on Wednesday 16 December, the final session of the year for the museum's under-fives group. It's a monthly thing, so if you've already been to the October or November dates, this is the one to round off the autumn.

Each session is built around one of the objects in the museum's collection, and they use it as a starting point for songs, craft, and play activities. There's also a themed story to go with it, so the railway collection comes to life for the smallest visitors rather than just sitting behind glass. It's designed for children aged 2 to 5, and since it's a museum, the whole thing is indoors, which is a relief when the December weather starts to turn.

There are two sessions on the day: one from 9:45 to 10:45am and another from 11:15am to 12:15pm, so you can pick the one that fits your morning best. It's £5 per child, and places have to be booked in advance, with a maximum of 10 children per session, so it stays small and manageable. Up to two adults per child can come along, and the whole thing runs at STEAM, on Fire Fly Avenue, off Kemble Drive in Swindon.
