Design Detectives - 21 May - 8 June
Join us at Little Moreton Hall and be a 'Design Detective' for the day. Learn more about how conservators look after historical paintings and designs in the hall, and use the free spotter guide to help you take a closer look.
The wall paintings at Little Moreton Hall are having some much needed TLC from specialists called conservators. You will see them working on paintings when you visit the hall on a weekday. Grab a free spotter guide from the Welcome Building to help you discover more about the project when you visit. We have a limited amount of the spotter guides so please return them to the Welcome Building before you leave or keep them to reuse for another visit.
