Lots of exciting events!

We are very excited to have a wide range of events and activities coming up across the museums.

Our next is a talk on the intriguing mystery that is the Tanshelf pottery collection, now on display at Pontefract Museum.  On Thursday 19 January, you will be able to hear about the project from someone directly involved - Janet McNaught.


Families are spoiled for choice over the half term, with something different to do every day! A selection of what is on offer is available in our handy Activity Planner.

Castleford is hosting it's popular Iron Age Day on Saturday 18 February, with fierce warrior face-painting, storytelling and crafts.
 
 
We are then really excited about a presentation and dinner being hosted in Create CafĂ© - next to the museum.  The ever-popular History Wardrobe will be performing one of their fabulous presentations - Jolly Hockey Sticks - about school days and school stories, followed by a tasty twist on a school dinner from Create.
It should be a fantastic evening!

There's lots more listed in our What's On - from a butter and cheese making workshop for adults, to iPad animation sessions for families.  Do have a look at our What's On guide below - or pick one up from any of the museums.
