Lots of people have been asking what our Christmas crafting afternoon includes. Well, quite a lot! We set up four stations around the Great Hall, and you can choose what to do and when. You might want a go at all four, or you might want to just really concentrate on one.
Here are the four stations:
*painting
*calligraphy
*making tissue flowers
*make your own Christmas cards
There might be other stations too, depending on demand!
We supply all materials, and you can keep your creations at the end of the session.
You are free to have a wander around the museum upstairs, and there will be guided tours at 1pm and 2pm.
We'll be selling refreshments, such as mince pies, mulled w**e, tea, coffee, cake, hot chocolate, fresh fruit juice.
That's it! What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!
Sunday 13th December 12-4pm.
