* Thanks all, we have the bag back!

Did you visit Market Hall Museum yesterday and accidentally take home one of our Explorer Backpacks? 🎒

We're missing one of our backpacks and would love to have it returned so that other visitors can continue to enjoy using it during their museum visits.

Please check your bags and pushchairs in case it has been packed away by mistake. If you find it, simply pop it back to us at the museum.

Thank you for your help and support! 😊
