The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!

The Snowman TM Exhibition at North Herts Museum
North Herts Museum
Sat 5th October 2024 - Sun 12th January 2025
Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays)
It may be a bit early to think about snow but The Snowman TM, an enchanting exhibition for all the family, comes to Hitchin from 5th October, so you can plan a visit on a wet winter weekend or October half-term holiday!
The book, first published in 1978, was created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, drawn only with pencil crayons in a comic strip format. Then in 1982, the classic picture book was adapted into a 26-minute animated film. Extending the picture book story was relatively easy for the talented creative team, who used their imagination to extend the Snowman's night of exploration - including a meeting with Father Christmas. Raymond Briggs never intended for The Snowman to be a festive tale - the original story doesn't even mention Christmas!
