The craft activities are open to children aged six to 11 and will run from 1pm until 3pm for four Wednesday afternoons in August with a different historical theme for each one.

On Wednesday August 8 it will be ‘In the days of bad King John at Sleaford Castle’. Youngsters will be able to decorate a sword, a shield or a crown to welcome the king.

Finally on Wednesday August 29 it will be ‘Royal Air force 100. 1918-2018’. You can try your hand at ‘nose art’ - decorating your own aeroplane and flying it.

There will be a £1 charge for each craft activity undertaken by the children to cover costs of materials. Children must be accompanied.
