IDENTIKIT! A Family Workshop

Join us this Easter for Identikit! a hands-on, family-friendly workshop, based on the tool that became the popular game Guess Who?

What are Identikits? Identikits are a special tool designed to help police build a picture of a criminals face, as described by someone who saw the crime happen. We’ll show you the face of a criminal, then test your memory to see if you can recreate their face using our special Identikit equipment.

Family Trail

Our family trials invite all budding young detectives to pick up a case file and undercover the story of policing on Bow Street. Follow the clues, complete the puzzles and investigate why Bow Street Police Station is one of the most famous in the world.

We offer trails suitable for different ages, Under 5’s, 5-7 years, and 7 – 11 years. All trails can also be used by adults to help engage younger visitors with the objects and stories on display.
