Marches Makers Museum of Curiosity in the Market Hall
You know when you visit a museum, each strange and wonderful object has a label describing where it was found, what it was used used for, what it is called, how old it is - interesting and fun facts which tell a story.
Now, what if these objects have no labels and you get to give them a story - imagine where they might have been found, what sort of person used them, what it might have been called. You can do this in the Marches Makers Museum of Curiosity!!
Join us in creating imaginary tales to attach to these extraordinary museum exhibits.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday 10-4
