Halloween Afternoon Teas have returned to the museum cafe!


We're finding ghosts in the teapots, werewolves under the table and imps have stolen the cake stands. But don't worry, they're all friendly (except the imps... vicious things) and hopefully by the time we reach the end of October, we will have sent them back from whence they came, and peace will be restored.


All this will be just in time for you to book an afternoon tea, where you can sip prosecco and scoff cakes & scones.

Make a keepsake card for someone special.

This creative workshop will teach you how to make a 3D Christmas/winter scene using layers of paper, watercolours and your own magical flair. Your tutor will show you how to make this card, and you'll be able to make them again and again for all sorts of future occasions.
Don't worry if you don't draw. If you'd like, we will have pre-printed scenes to give you a head start and let you make it your own with a dash of paint. If you want more of an artistic challenge, then the freedom is there to make any scene you like.
