Crafty Cats: Tales and Legends

28th May 10:30am - 3:00pm

Join the team at The Bishop’s Palace on a quest to explore the tales and legends of medieval times over May Half Term!

Walk in the steps of King Arthur and re-create the well-loved local legend of Bishop Jocelyn and the Dragon with fun-filled family activities.

On Tuesday 28th May, the Crafty Cats session will use a range of craft activities to transform younger visitors into fire-breathing dragons or Kings & Queens, and they will also have the chance to create a medieval regal banner to fly as they march into battle!

Undercroft of The Bishop’s Palace. Included in admission. Palace Members free.
