This May Half Term, bring along the family and help us to celebrate the important conservation work taking place on our stained-glass windows as part of 'The Big MEND' project, with a fun new craft activity.

Join us on Tuesday 28, Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 May, 11am - 3pm, to have a go at making your own paper-based stained-glass window to take home.

There will also be lots of traditional games out to have a go at too - Who can hoola-hoop the longest? Who can score the most points at quoits? Who has the best aim for the bean bag throw?
