This is the stuff that dreams are made of.

The Natural History Museum is hosting monthly sleepovers for the first time in its history. Children over 8 must bring sleeping bags, torches and a snack for midnight feasts. 

There is a torchlit tour into the darkest depths of the museum, a film screening and a host of thrilling activities.

It all kicks off at 7pm and finishes at 9.50am the following day.  Groups of 5 children minimum and 1 adult.

Next sleepover is on 13th Feb, followed by 13th March, and 17th April. Book well ahead as the Jan sleepover is already fully booked. Surely this is the answer to any birthday party questions?
