Then varnish with glue (decoupage) as the Victorians would have done – Shaw House’s Mrs Farquhar probably enjoyed this hobby too. Attach a magnetic strip to the back and put on a magnetic board.

There will also be a free outdoor trail themed around historic garden design.

Aimed at 7-11 year olds, but younger and older children are welcome. An adult must remain with the child at all times; if possible, one accompanying adult per child only.

Please dress for mess, although disposable aprons will be available. You are however welcome to bring your own.

Wednesday 31 May | Shaw House | £2.50 | 10am – 3pm | No need to book, just drop-in | £2.50 per child
