Activities for Children

​
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
Museum of Curiosities Details

The Red Dress - performances by About Face Theatre
  
This magical story is brought to life as the pages of a giant book unfold. 
 
With beautiful, small-scale puppets and props, The Red Dress is an intimate piece of theatre featuring a stunning set, choreographed to an evocative soundtrack. 
 
Based in the traditions of fairytale, the show is a redolent story about a young girl’s journey into adulthood and her changing relationship with her mother.
 
For audiences of all ages over 6 years, The Red Dress is a timeless tale of growing up, with a surprise on every page.
