About this event

Time Travel Trails is part of the programme at the Dick Institute in Kilmarnock. Calling all Time Travellers - explore the museum on a free, fun, family-friendly self-led trail. As you travel through the building you visit different times in history, tracking down famous local figures and creatures from Ayrshire's past.

What to expect:

  • A free self-led paper trail you pick up and follow at your own pace - "free, drop-in during normal venue opening hours"
  • New knitted characters hidden through the museum to find: "Wool you find them all?"
  • The knitted characters came from a community textile project and are on display alongside the trail
  • The listing marks it "Good for: Kids, Young People, Families"
  • Museum opening hours are 9am-6pm Monday to Friday and 10am-4pm Saturday and Sunday; admission is free
  • The same trail runs at Burns House Museum in Mauchline and the Baird Institute in Cumnock, each with its own map
  • Tearoom on site, with car parking around the venue
