We’ve managed to maintain the running of holiday activities over the weekends despite Derryth being on maternity leave, although it has been a stretch. There was a different make & take activity every day of the holidays and once again, porthole pictures proved to be very popular. Amelia Fawcett, one of our young visitors, felt compelled to show her appreciation of the Museum by way of a drawing she left for us.Museum Minnows is proving a popular workshop for pre-school and nursery settings. This session is run by me & assisted by Early Years Practitioners from Truro College & members of the Education volunteers. We’ve had a total of 118 early years children & their parents, the majority of which have never visited the Museum before but hopefully, having been sent home with a copy of our What’s On leaflet and a shameless plug from Debs, they will return!
The Living History outreach bookings have suddenly started to pick up after a large mail out of new flyers. Funding from the Equitable Charitable Trust has covered the cost of the fuel & actors for three years. This funding has enabled us to reduce the charge of the ‘Hevva, Hevva’ and ‘Voyage of the Mystery’ workshops to schools who are too far away to access the Museum’s resources. We have seven outreach visits in June including schools in: Launceston, Bodmin, Penzance, Delabole and Liskeard, a total of 650 miles and 636 children.
