Children’s Group to be Launched at Ashby Museum

An exciting new initiative for local children is being launched at Ashby Museum on Saturday 28th March.  In order to get their new “Junior Friends of Ashby de la Zouch Museum” off to a flying start, the Museum is inviting parents and children to take part in a number of fun activities between 10.30 am and 2 pm.

Whilst the children take part in  craft and young archaeologist events, mums and dads can pick up an application form and receive a Members’ Pack for their youngsters which includes details of the first competition. One pound buys a year’s membership for a child which entitles them to free entry to the museum for a year.  Members will be able to take part in competitions and attend specially organised events such as Look behind the scenes at the Museum and A Walk on the Dark Side of Ashby.

Membership is open to Primary School aged children in school years 2 to 6.  All children wishing to take part in the event must be accompanied by an adult.  Soft drinks and biscuits will be on offer to the children and tea or coffee for adults.
