About This Event

The Magic Carpet festival at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh will bring a different theme each month to life using song, rhyme, movement, play, and handling objects for children.

Each month we will explore a different theme using song, rhyme, movement, play and handling objects. This will help you and your little one discover more about our topic. If you would like to learn more about our topic, the friendly Learning Communicators will be happy to suggest some galleries for you to visit afterwards. Our Magic Carpet sessions now take place in a secure space, allowing your little one to move around and explore safely during the session. Additional Dates: 14 September 2026, 21 September 2026, 09 November 2026, 16 November 2026, 23 November 2026, 01 February 2027, 08 February 2027, 22 February 2027, 01 March 2027, 08 March 2027, 15 March 2027
