Rotherham’s Historical High Jinks

Rotherham's twice nominated Museum of the Year, Clifton Park Museum, will be housing the weekly craft and history sessions, which aim to give children aged four to ten a fascinating and creative insight into history.

On Wednesday August 10, there will be the opportunity to create a seaside themed mirror with "Seaside Reflections", followed by "Roman Fashion and Fare" on Wednesday August 17, which will give creative kids the opportunity to get a taste of Roman life.

These will be followed by "Holiday Scrapbooking" on Wednesday August 24, where children will be able to have fun creating a scrapbook of their summer holidays. Don't forget to bring your snaps!

Rounding off the fun will be "Step Back in Time" on Wednesday August 31, where there will be the chance to explore the history of the Museum and both dress up in Victorian costume and make your own historic accessories.

All the events will take place in the Museum Courtyard. The sessions will be running from 11am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 3pm.
