NOT FOR PROFIT

As part of the ActIV team we worked with the Natural History Museum, producing and delivering a number of events. Our work included the production of the Annual Trustees Dinner, Early Morning Private Views of exhibitions and the devising and delivery of a wonderful family event to wish ‘Dippy’ the Diplodocus goodbye before his UK tour.

The ‘Goodbye and Good Luck Dippy’ event utilised multiple museum spaces and saw adults and children alike become immersed and engaged in dinosaur themed ‘Wonder Bays’ in Hintze Hall. Activities including Face Painting; Dino Arts and Crafts; DSI: Dino Scene Investigation; Super Stegasaurus; and ‘How to Draw Amazing Dinosaurs’ – all with contributions from the wonderful Science Educators from the Museum’s Learning Department. The night also included surprise performances from CBeebies Presenter Andy Day; and McFly guitarist-turned children’s author Tom Fletcher. The event was a hugely successful model for engaging new and existing supporters of the Museum, as well allowing patrons and their children to see the NHM in a new and exciting way.

The Natural History Museum is a world-class visitor attraction and leading science research centre. They maintain over 80 million specimens spanning billions of years and welcome more than five million visitors annually. Moreover, they use their exceptional collections and expertise to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world today.

“Working with Juliet provided us with experienced, professional event management and support. It was very reassuring to have her working with us as part of the team and a great pleasure to work with her.”
