Nantwich Museum Millennium Gallery

Half-term workshops are taking place at Nantwich Museum this week to help keep youngsters busy.

Salt will be the main theme of the workshops on Wednesday and Thursday May 29 and 30.

These are designed to coincide with the new “A Celebration of Salt” exhibition at the Pillory Street venue, which opens today (Tuesday May 28).

Children will be able to use salt to make their crafts as well as try simple experiments.

They can also investigate how other household items can be used to make fun crafts to take home and take part in quizzes.

The drop-in workshops will be held between 11am –and 3pm, £2 per child, who must be accompanied. Large groups are requested to book in advance.

The museum’s popular Plant and Book Sale will take place at the museum this Saturday June 1, between 10am and 1pm.

A wide selection of plants and books will be available for sale in aid of museum funds. Refreshments will be available.

Anyone happy to donate books or plants for the event are welcome.

Meanwhile, the museum is planning events to celebrate Volunteers Week between June 1 and 7.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
