October Half Term Activities 24th - 31st
Join in our Potato Week celebration and Big Draw activites.

American Folk Music 25th
Performance by Dave Ruch 1pm-3pm. (Please note there is no additional charge for the concert but usual museum admission charges apply.) Dave Ruch is a special musician and performer widely noted for his ability to engage audiences of all kinds. Equal parts historian, entertainer, educator, comedian and folklorist, he finds his song material in dusty archives, obscure songbooks, diaries, old recordings, scholarly journals and sometimes from his own children, bringing these gems to life in a most entertaining style.

The museum comes alive once more between 6 and 8pm to provide a Halloween Party with a difference. Take part in our family fun activites around the museum buildings. Warm clothes and a torch recommended! Tickets will cost £3.50 per person (under 4's free) and will be available at the museum from the 1st October.
