On 26 November artist Jackie Curtis will be at the museum to deliver a monoprinting workshop.

The workshop runs from 10am to noon and costs £30 (booking required.) On 3 and 20 December families can enjoy some Christmas-themed making activities.
On December 3 children can make a tea-light holder from clay and follow the Christmas cracker trail around the museum.
On December 20 they can paint Christmas decorations and a plate for Santa. Booking is required for all activities (£4 per child).
