This 4 day course for 11-14 year olds runs Tues-Fri 10.15-15.00 each day at the Fitzwilliam Museum.

The kit contains everything you need to complete the activity at home, including instructions, supplies, and surprises.
Discover what types of herbs the Cromwells used to make their food taste yummy, and to make their home and selves smell good.

In this self-led activity you will be shown close ups of statue hands. Can you guess what they are doing and who they are based on these small fragments? Take the quiz with the whole family and see which one of you is the most detail-orientated and imaginative!
It’s a good opportunity for you to take some time out and relax, while getting to know our casts a little better!
Follow our video, set to calming music and stretch your body like an ancient statue. Or download the presentation guide and carry out the exercises at your own pace.
All you need to get started is a mat, blanket or towel.
This activity will lead you through a gentle 10 minute stretch, perfect for the whole family!
This summer, Wisbech & Fenland Museum will be out and about at different venues across the town.
