The museum will then play host to a special arts and crafts event on Saturday November 26.

A team of four gifted craftspeople will be on hand to help people make unique Christmas decorations and presents.

The workshop runs from 11am to 4pm, with the £6 entry fee to include drinks and all decorations and presents you make. Spaces are limited so please call the museum to book a place.

On Edwardian Evening on Thursday December 8, Father Christmas will pay a visit to the museum, taking visits from children in his grotto from 5.45pm.
