New lighthouse workshop for schools

Here is a photo of Tom Hare as Eddie Matthews the Lighthouse Keeper.

School children will be able to meet a Lighthouse Keeper as part of a new workshop for Year 1 and 2 children (6-8 year olds). Eddie will ask the children to help him run the lighthouse as his two colleagues are sick in bed and Mr Grimshaw, the Lighthouse Inspector, is coming to do a thorough inspection.

The children will take part in challenges related to running a lighthouse, including sending a barrel full of supplies across the sea. If they complete all the tasks and the lighthouse passes inspection then they will receive a certificate which states they are now a Lighthouse Keeper Assistant.

Thanks goes to Trinity House and Pam Rowan for their help with Tom's costume.
