Just to add that visiting chess youngsters with / without parents should not be put off by the use of the term 'master class'.
The event will be run completely openly and informally. It might perhaps best be regarded as an open chess surgery for young chess players with an IM (and others on hand) who will be happy to discuss Qs of any sort from anyone and play against them.
The more the merrier ... a training opportunity aimed especially at the younger player ... in an outstanding setting!
Treat it as a chance to have a good family day out, visiting a great museum with a participative chess opportunity. The museum bills the time of the 'master class' as 2-4pm on both days. But note that the museum closes an hour later and we'll be setting up the chessboards, say from about 1.30pm.
If you have friends with chess-interested youngsters (any age / strength), do tell them about it. When the museum stages this sort of thing (and this one's free), its main aim is fun and maximum inter-activity.
