We're off to see the Wizard!

Follow the Yellow Brick Trail this February at the award-winning Museum of East Dorset.

Step into a world of magic, imagination and adventure this February as the Museum of East Dorset launches a brand-new Wizard of Oz-inspired family trail – and families are warmly invited along for the journey.

With excitement around the Wicked films reigniting a global love for Oz and its unforgettable characters, this trail celebrates the story that started it all: The Wizard of Oz. From ruby slippers to the Emerald City, it offers a joyful, hands-on experience inspired by a timeless classic that continues to enchant generation after generation.

From Monday 2 February and throughout the February half-term holidays, families can follow the Yellow Brick Trail through the museum, joining Dorothy and her companions on a playful adventure packed with puzzles, creative challenges and hands-on activities.

Along the way, just like the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion, visitors will be encouraged to test their courage, kindness and curiosity, with each stop inspired by a different character from over the rainbow – all designed to spark imagination and playful learning.

Dress-up magic awaits too. Children can step fully into character in the museum’s popular dressing-up area, with a fantastic selection of costumes ready for budding lions, tin men, scarecrows and witches.
