Discovery Museum: Shrapnel Boys: Life on the Home Front

Join us for the Shrapnel Boys: Life on the Home Front Museum Trail, organised by Kids in Museums and Usborne. This national family trail is inspired by Shrapnel Boys, a forthcoming novel by award-winning children’s author Jenny Pearson.

Full competition terms and conditions.

Pick up a free activity sheet to join in at Discovery Museum. Explore what life was like for children on the home front and search for hidden objects around the museum. Complete the spotter trail and receive a free sticker!

Children can also design their own VE Day bunting. One winning design will receive:

  • A signed copy of Shrapnel Boys by Jenny Pearson
  • A National Art Pass (plus kids) courtesy of Art Fund – giving one adult plus children under 16 free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries, and historic houses across the UK, plus 50% off major exhibitions
