The Ripon Gazette takes a look at the best places for children to visit, stay active and soak up the sun this half term with a special focus on affordable destinations and hidden gems.
RIPON Museums are offering a selection of activities, events and exhibitions for visitors to enjoy over the summer months. Keen crafters can take part in a workshop from Yorkshire-based textiles group 6-Ply, inspired by the Lives Unravelled exhibition, which is currently on display at the Workhouse Museum. On Saturday, August 14, from 11am to 2pm, visitors can join Hazel Waite for the Counted Threads Workhouse Workshop. Using motifs from features of the workhouse building, participants will create a stitched sample which could be used as a small picture, bookmark or greetings card. Tickets cost £10 and can be booked via the Ripon Museums website.
