Planning for the Easter Holidays at Hertford Museum

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

It feels like Spring is definitely here, in fact at the moment it feels like Summer is here, and that means it must be nearly time for the Easter Holidays!

As usual there’s plenty to do at Hertford Museum over the holidays.

In week one you can make a paper plate port hole and an octopus or starfish and in week two we’ll be painting underwater scenes and making a cork boat!

Hertford Museum & RNLI Easter Trail

Have a go at this trail around some of Hertford’s shops and businesses from Saturday 31st March – Sunday 15th April

Hertford Museum has teamed up with a local RNLI fundraising group to organise another fun trail around the town centre shops. This year the trail, which runs over the Easter Holidays, has the shops each choosing a lifeboat station around the UK as the theme for their display. There will also be two trails this year! Our usual one for families and a trickier, cryptic, one for adults!

Trails cost £1 each and are on sale at the museum.
