October Half Term at the Police Museum

🚨The West Midlands Police Museum is on the lookout for the next generation of super sleuths to try our new detective trail! 🚨

This October half-term, from Wednesday 29th October to Sunday 2nd November, the historic Lock-Up in Birmingham transforms into the Lock-Up Mouse Detective Academy — a thrilling, interactive experience designed to entertain and inspire curious young minds. 

Children aged 5–12 are invited to team up with the Museum’s very own crime-fighting mascot Lock-Up Mouse, to crack codes, solve puzzles, and uncover clues hidden throughout the museum’s exhibits. 

Each junior detective will receive their own Detective Academy file, a cuddly Lock-Up Mouse plush, and — upon completing their mission — a special WMP Museum sew-on patch to take home! 

🎟️Tickets are £20 per child and include: 🎟️

Whether your child dreams of becoming a forensic scientist, a police officer, or simply loves solving mysteries, this event promises a half-term adventure they won’t forget. 

Spaces are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment!
