Victorian Summer Spectacular!

Join us at Parc Howard Museum for a summer spectacular of crafts and making inspired by the Victorians.

 

Every week throughout the holidays will feature a different activity for children and families to try. All ages and abilities are welcome! All activities are free and you can even take home everything you make.

 

Use your imagination to design a stunning stained glass pattern. Or bring out the bling to create a glorious Eisteddfod crown.

 

And, while you're here, why not pick up a drink, snack or ice cream and enjoy them on our new outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful park.

 

 

 

 

 

Activity Dates

24 - 28 July

Make a magnificent Eisteddfod Crown and imagine wearing it on our huge bardic chair!

 

31 July - 4 August

Find out what a thaumatrope is and learn how to construct your own.


7 - 11 August

Anyone can make paper flowers. But how about clay flowers? Get inspired by the colourful displays in the park to see whether you can do better than Mother Nature!

 

14 - 18 August


Board games are now officially cool. So discover how to invent your own in our Snakes & Ladders workshop.

 

21 - 25 August

Got a crush? Want to tell them how you feel? Why not try the Victorian way... by making these awesome puzzle purses!

 

A folded paper craft popular in Victorian times, puzzle purses were traditionally decorated with images of romance, flowers and loving words.

 

28 August - 2 September

We finish the summer with a splash of colour: design your own stained glass! OK, maybe it's not 'real' glass, but we think you'll enjoy creating colourful combinations and hanging them up at home.
