Explore! Lace Making

Interactive learning workshops aimed at home educators, targeted at different age groups. Sessions will be run on a different theme, with role play, museum object handling, crafts and activities.

In February’s session, we’ll be looking High Wycombe’s history of lace making. How was lace made, and who made it? How much did it cost? What was it used for, and what did it feel like to wear? And given that it’s Valentine’s Day, we’ll be looking at link between lacemaking a love tokens.

Tickets are only required for participating children, and children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the sessions.

Tickets £7.35 per child

Time slots:

• Ages 4 – 6: 11.30am – 12.30pm
• Ages 7 – 11: 12.30 – 1.30pm

Please note these age ranges are recommendations rather than rules, and is an indication of who the session will be best for.

If you have multiple children who fall into different age categories, it’s okay to bring both to one session. Please select whichever session you think will be most appropriate for your children. We’ll do our best to accommodate children who fall outside of the recommended age range, and will have resources available from both sessions that can be made available. Please note that if bringing younger children to the 7-11 session, some of the museum objects we offer for handling might require closer adult supervision.
