During this summer Melton Carnegie Museum will continue to deliver its extremely popular programme of free children’s activities.
The museum is temporarily closed for an extensive building project, made possible by a major award from The Heritage Lottery Fund.
A variety of venues will host a mix of indoor and outdoor sessions during the school summer holidays.
On 16th July the summer begins with "A Walk on the Wild Side", a nature trail with a difference at Melton Country Park. "Brassed Off" takes place in St. Mary’s Church, Melton on 23rd July with rub and reveal designs.
There will be a "Teddy Bears’ Picnic"” in Melton Play Close Park on 30th July and children are asked to bring along a picnic and a furry friend and enjoy some teddy crafts.
Melton Library hosts "Bookworms" on 6th July, a selection of "novel" crafts. It’s back to Melton Play Close Park on 13th August for kite making with "Flying High".
"Pavement Pictures"on 20th August in Melton Market Place will see children creating chalk art on the paving and finally "Bug Hunt" sees a return to Melton Country Park for a creepy crawly adventure.
The events will take place on Thursdays where four sessions will be held at
10.15am, 11.30am, 1.30pm and 2.45pm.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Pre booking is required, so to reserve a place please call the museum on 01664 569946 or email meltonmuseum@leics.gov.uk.
