Crafting the Past - A Summer of Making

Throughout the Summer Holidays, the Museum of Cambridge is hosting workshops and craft sessions for families to experience some of the lost craft skills of the past. From natural dyeing to marionette making, there is sure to be something to interest children of all ages (and adults too!). 

Take a deep dive on natural crafting methods from history. Book your free place to dye a bracelet using plants.

All events are FREE! Suitable for children 5+ with adult supervision.

 

This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2025.
