We are delighted to welcome Happening History back to the Museum on Saturday, 19 March. This time they will be looking at the history of Medieval Trials.

Learn about trial by ordeal, trial by fire, trial by water and trial by sacrament. The Court is in session at 11.15am, 1.30pm and 2.45pm. Volunteers are sought to take part! Don't worry, no harm will come to you...hopefully!

No need to book, just drop in at these times. See you in court!

Councillor Sue Markham, Portfolio Holder for Public Services said:

“Our free museum event days are very popular with many families and it’s great to have them back.  If you’ve never visited before make sure you pop in. They are a great way for children and adults to learn something new whilst having fun.

"The event is free but donations are welcome. There is no need to book, just drop in at the stated times. All children should be accompanied by an adult."
