Cllr Sue Markham, Portfolio Holder for Public Services at Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, said:

“If you are stuck for something to do over the Easter break, why not come to the Museum and get the family involved in creative activities?

“There is something different to do each day from creating hats, masks and bookmarks, all free to attend.

“It will also give you the opportunity to see some of the fantastic exhibitions currently on show.’’

Temporary exhibitions include “Where Did You Get That Hat” which features headwear from the museum’s collections. Visitors can also try on fun hats and have a go at decorating hats.

Also on show is this year’s Festival of Arts Art Exhibition featuring over 400 pieces of art from both adults and children.
