Here's a taster of what's on...
Play Pavilion: free family fun in August, whatever the weather.
Join the Norris Museum for a day of river-themed fun and celebrate beloved local river, the Great Ouse!
Back by popular demand - join us as we celebrate the ground-breaking palaeontologist, Mary Anning. Hear about her revolutionary fossil discoveries, by 'meeting' her in person. Observe fossil ammonite features and make your own clay ammonite to take home.
