Join the National Trust for Scotland for a day of traditional family fun in Alloway this weekend.

On Saturday (July 29), a range of funfair activities and games will be held at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum for all the family.

Taking place in the museum gardens, guests can try their luck at traditional funfair games including, Hook a Duck, Tin Can Alley, Coconut Shy, Ping Pong Jars, Ball in a Bucket, Giant Jenga and Connect 4. There will also be a bouncy castle, bungee run and face painter.

Caroline Smith, operations manager at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, said: “We’d love to see families and friends enjoying a day of fun-filled games in the museum gardens. Adults will be taken back in time, with the chance to enjoy some of their favourite childhood games – they can maybe show the children how it’s done! 

“Families can also take the opportunity to wander around the museum and learn more about Scotland’s famous poet. Robert Burns is a large part of Scottish history so the museum can be an inspiring place to learn more about Burns’ life and his legacy.” 

Inside the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, visitors can use interactive screens and explore everything Burns, from his famous poems, to over 5,500 manuscripts, books, personal artefacts and artworks.

Booking is not required for this event; each activity is individually priced.
