Museum Fun This Summer! Ancient House has a packed programme of museum trails this summer. They’re designed to help families explore the museum in different ways. Topics cover subjects from natural history to Vikings, including one using your sense of smell. All the trails come with a small prize. If you complete six trails over the summer, you’ll receive a dinosaur pencil case to hold all your prizes. Trails are free with museum admission. Melissa Hawker, Learning Officer speaking about the trails said: “We know that local families look for something new to enjoy at their local museum over the holidays so we are delighted to ring the changes each week with a new trail. All the prizes have been selected to link with the trail topic and also have value beyond that, many will act as a great ‘back to school’ stationary kit. Running alongside the trails, we’ll also have a craft table with simple colouring or make and take crafts for families”.

Ancient House is delighted to be working with The Tales from the River project which is part of The Brecks Fen and River Edge project to offer a weeklong summer club where young people can learn new skills and make new friends. Young people (11 years and over) will work with oral history, archival documents, images, film and artefacts to create an exhibition on how the river has been used for fun in the past. The Summer Club is completely free and also includes all refreshments. To book your place visit:
