Amazing Artefacts - Home Educators Monthly Sessions
2024-12-18 10:30 - 11:30
Merry Christmas! As a break from our usual seasonal blocks of learning sessions, December’s session will be a Christmas party with all ages invited! We will play some historical games, learn about festive traditions in a relaxed way and have a little treat, plus a short visit from one of Santa’s very similar helpers 🙂
Dates and Times
Wednesday 18th December 10:30-11:30
Ages and Abilities
This session is intended to be a slight break from our usual setup, so all ages are welcome, as we will be concentrating on having a social session with a bit of stealth learning thrown in (but it will mostly be about the fun!).
Accompanying Adults
Tickets need to be purchased for each child attending, but grown ups do not need to purchase a separate ticket. It usually works best for the younger or less confident children if grown ups stay and join in with activities. Whereas for older or more confident children it is usually fine for grown ups to not stay in the session, although they will need to stay within the museum building whilst the session is taking place.
Price and How to Book
Tickets cost £7 per child, which includes some festive snacks and a small gift from Santa. Spaces can be booked via Ticketsource or by popping into or phoning the museum directly.
