Experience the magic of a Victorian Christmas at the Museum on Saturday 7, 14 and 21 December in the run up to Christmas.

There will be costumed guides on-hand to guide you through the museum’s historic rooms and Christmas crafts for all ages to make and take away. Try your hand at creating a peg doll angel, paper chains and cornucopias.

You can also browse the unique items in the gift shop. Whether that’s a Lawrence-related item, one of the range of decorations, special jewellery, traditional toys or one of the other novel gifts, you’re sure to find that special something.

The magic of a Victorian Christmas will be  on Saturdays from 10.00am to 4.00pm.

The gift shop is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10.00am to 4.00pm until 21 December.
