Connecting Cambridge Family Day
Saturday 20th April, 2024
10.00am - 4.00pm
Join us for a day of free activities for all the family! There’ll be hands-on play and crafts including building a mini museum, making your own objects and more. There’s no need to book, just drop-in on the day and get involved.
Would you like to know how to escape the underworld, to come back to life or even how to become a god? In Spring the world comes back to life, so join us to explore stories of resurrection and rebirth at our relaxed afternoon of holiday activities. Dive into the ancient world with miraculous myths from ancient Greece and Rome, get arty by re-enacting the most shocking stories with paper puppets you can take home with you, or welcome the Spring with some flowery crafting.
This will be a completely free, drop-in event so there’s no need to book.
