Christmas at the museums-November 2008
Christmas at the Muesums
November 2008
The museums of Bath & North East Somerset have a whole host
of creative events for the family in the run up to Christmas. You
can find out about how the Romans and the Georgians celebrated
Christmas, make your own arty wrapping paper and cards and join in
the lantern procession into the Christmas market, to name but a
few.
Bath & North East Somerset Council's Victoria Art
Gallery will be holding two workshops to give children some
inspirational ideas for Christmas: Wrap it up, for 6-11 year olds
on Saturday 29 November, and Christmas crafts, for 3-7 year olds on
Saturday 13 December, are sure to be popular, so booking is
essential on 01225 477244. Full details from the website
http://www.victoriagal.org.uk/
The Council-run Roman Baths and Fashion Museum will also be
holding events for children on consecutive Sundays during December.
The drop-in family events, Roman Festivals on 7 December at the
Roman Baths, and Christmas stockings on 14 December at the Fashion
Museum are free to local residents with a Discovery Card. Full
details from www.romanbaths.co.uk and http://www.fashionmuseum.co.uk/
A full list of events at these and other Bath museums can be
