Libori starts on the 25th July in Paderborn with the raising of the Golden shrine at the Dom. The shrine is then processed through the city to mark the opening of the Libori celebrations. Later the same day paraded through the city while the mayor will tap the Giant keg.
Hannover offers UK travelers the perfect city break, seamlessly blending rich history with vibrant urban culture. Deep ties to the British Crown through the 1714 Act of Settlement, you can walk in the footsteps of George I at the Herrenhausen Gardens, a Baroque masterpiece rivaling Versailles.
Explore the red-brick Gothic architecture of the Old Town, follow the "Red Thread" walking tour to the striking New Town Hall, or relax by the sprawling Maschsee lake. Accessible, green, and packed with royal heritage, Hannover is Germany’s best-kept secret.
Now a well-established feature of the Museum’s summer activities, the walks combine history, heritage and exploration in a way that encourages curiosity and learning beyond the classroom. This year, two additional walks have been added to the programme, allowing the Museum to offer activities throughout the newly extended school summer holidays. Accompanied by Museum guides, participants will explore a range of historic sites across Gibraltar while learning about the people, events and stories that have shaped the Rock over thousands of years.
From ancient caves and defensive fortifications to hidden corners of the old town and wartime tunnels carved deep within the Rock, each walk focuses on a different aspect of Gibraltar’s unique heritage. Through these experiences, children are encouraged to develop a stronger connection with the history and environment that surrounds them in their daily lives.
As in previous years, places are expected to fill quickly. All activities are free of charge, but advance booking is essential due to limited availability. Parents or guardians are welcome to accompany children, although priority will be given to participating children where numbers are restricted. Bookings will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and must be made via email. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate children who arrive without a confirmed booking.
Registration forms are available to download on our website: https://www.gibmuseum.gi/news/walks-2026
