Crawley Museum is going a bit Jurassic, when a 5-metre Stegosaurus skeleton cast goes on display. The family friendly exhibition has been partly funded by Crawley BID. It will be the first time Crawley Museum has displayed anything of its size or stature at their site in The Tree since they moved in, in 2018.

Hello,
I was trying to book the Lantern making workshop for March 4rh on this past Friday and there appeared to be availability but I was overseas at the time and I could not submit the booking for some reason from my work computer environment. I came back today (Sunday) to try and book two spots for my daughters and it is now sold out. Is there any room for 1 or 2 more children on the 4th and if not is there a waiting list?
Thanks very much,
Andrew

Hiya

I sent a message on fabcebook, but I don’t think it was seen.

I am out of the home ed community and wondered if it would be possible to arrange a home ed workshop around what you are offering with the stegosaurus?

Many of the home ed children are SEN and so concerned about the busyness off the half term/weekend sessions.

Thank you

Hi Hollie, thanks for your message. The sessions are suggested for 7+ so may be a bit beyond a 4 year old. You are still welcome to come and visit the exhibition where we have toys, trails and other hands on activities for the exhibition. Please be aware that the last day to see the exhibition is 25th March.
