The Museum of English Rural Life details...

One of the things to do in Berkshire with the kids is a visit to the recently redeveloped Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) in Reading. Spend a day learning about life in the countryside past and present.

Discover fascinating stories and explore wonderful collections of tractors, wagons, displays on traditional crafts and more. Find out where food comes from and how to protect the environment. Take along a picnic to enjoy in the lovely garden and stay all day.

Both fun and educational, this child-friendly museum is one of the free family days out that suit all ages, from toddlers to grandparents.
