Family fun is on offer at a pair of Isle of Wight museums during next week’s half-term.
On Tuesday 27th May and Thursday 29th May (10:00-13:00) visitors to the Museum of Island History will be able create their own bracelet or bedroom door sign inspired by Anglo-Saxon runes and decorate them using patterns inspired by amazing artefacts found on the Isle of Wight.
There will also be an opportunity to complete a trail exploring some of the treasures currently on display at the museum, including objects from prehistory to the modern day.
Meanwhile, at Newport Roman Villa on Wednesday 28th May from 10:00-14:00, visitors will have the chance to ‘spring’ into action and create their own working catapult!
Visitors can also explore the villa ruins with a picture hunt to complete, with lots to discover about the mighty Roman army. The whole site will be open throughout the event so visitors can also explore the historic site, museum displays and garden.
On these special days there’s no need to book – all activities and museum entry costs just £1 per person at each museum site.
The events are organised by Isle of Wight Council’s Heritage Service.
