Living in the Abbey – A Creative Workshop for Young Explorers

Sat 20 Sep 25
Sat 20 Sep:10.00 - 16.00; Free Entry. The Guildhall, Guildhall Square, Abbey Place, Tavistock PL19 0FW Heritage Open Day: Step back in time this Heritage Open Days with a special hands-on workshop for primary school children, set in the atmospheric Courtroom of Tavistock’s historic Guildhall. Inspired by the daily life of medieval monks and townsfolk, children can explore three fun activities: discover the sweet secrets of beekeeping and create a colourful paper-plate chart of a bee’s life cycle; try their hand at calligraphy by designing their own illuminated manuscript in medieval style; and learn about the herbs that flavoured the Abbey’s kitchens before planting a seed to grow at home. There may also be a chance to help build a model of the Abbey itself — a perfect way to imagine what Tavistock once looked like. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about local heritage through creativity, taking home both new knowledge and their own mini masterpieces. Bring your budding historians and artists along for a memorable morning of discovery!... READ MORE>
