Christmas crafts
Children’s crafts will be on offer with cornucopias, Christingles and lantern-making among the Victorian themed activities. Create a paper bird, write a seasonal message and hang it on the Christmas tree. Make your own lantern and then join in the procession down the paupers’ path at 3.30pm each day.
Winner revealed
The overall winner of the year-long exhibition ‘The History of The Workhouse in 20 objects’ will be announced and all the winners from the four rounds will be on show. Have a look and see if the winner got your vote?
Seasonal refreshments
The café will be open for the duration of the event and mulled wine and mince pies will also be available. The shop will be stocked with seasonal goods to cater for any last minute gift ideas.
Celebrating our partners and volunteers
Some of the partner organisations who have worked with The Workhouse over the past year on the ‘What is Home?’ theme will be contributing to the Christmas event. The Bare Project, the creative fellows for the year, will show film clips of their multi-sensory performance ‘Dangerous or Otherwise’ created in association with Newark Emmaus Trust. Young people from Minster View, the local children’s home, will be making a creative contribution and once again there will be a foodbank, this year in aid of Newark Emmaus Trust.
We will also be celebrating the contribution made by Workhouse volunteers over the year. Their wide-ranging skills and relentless enthusiasm enable us to deliver the varied programme of activities. Maybe you will be inspired to make a New Year’s resolution to join them?
