Newark’s Palace Theatre and the National Civil War Centre to hold events this summer

Newark’s Palace Theatre and the National Civil War Centre will be holding a series of pantomime-themed activities for children this summer.

Oh Yes You Can… Make A Panto invites children to come along and make their own panto puppets, which can then be tried out in a shadow theatre.

The activities run to Saturday, September 4. Craft sessions are £1.50 per child, or free with centre admission.

Carys Coulton-Jones, National Civil War Centre manager, said: “While restrictions have lifted, we are still keeping the safety of our visitors a priority with lots of extra cleaning and a great one-way route with accompanying trail around the museum.

“With the amazing crafts our learning team have conjured up this summer, and half price admission currently running, this is the perfect time for families to visit and enjoy a wonderful experience exploring our exhibitions and having a go at some great interactives.”

The centre will also be handing out a limited number of creative kits to visitors, which include craft materials and museum-based activities.

Crafts will be available to buy online, with templates ready to download from the National Civil War Centre website’s Museum+ page to cut out and colour.
