Combining an interactive talk and craft activities, our online workshops provide families with a hands-on experience where they learn more about the history of the local area, develop new skills
Our workshops are led by our Learning Officer, Vicky, who has over fifteen years of experience of working with families and has an Enhanced DBS check.
Everything you need for the crafts will be posted to your home. (You will need some basic bits like pencils and scissors, but we will send the rest!)
Workshops are aimed at children aged 5-11 years old. For children aged 11 and over, we can make the activities more challenging for them. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, as they are family workshops to help adults and children try something new together.
All workshops are £6 per child – this includes all the materials you will need for the craft element of the workshops, plus postage and packing.
Please note – workshops bookings close 3 working days before the event to ensure the resources you need have enough time to reach you in the post
