Press release

Free weekend at Moyse’s Hall

 


22 January, 2008

 

The doors of Moyse’s Hall Museum in Bury St Edmunds are being thrown open free for a full programme of activities on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 February.

 

There are lots of things for the whole family to do. Highlights for children include a  hands-on area with costumes and artifacts, quizzes and a family activity tour. On Sunday, you can curate your own museum, creating a mural including all your favourite items on display and others that you think will be seen in future. Celebrated speaker Pat Murrell will describe the shopping culture of the past with an intriguing talk on the shops and shopkeepers of Bury St Edmunds. The Friends of Moyse’s Hall will be holding a coffee morning, and will describe the delights of becoming a volunteer at the museum.

 

Full details are available from Moyse’s Hall Museum on 01284 706183. Please book a place for planned activities to avoid disappointment. The museum is open daily from 10am – 5pm (last admittance 4pm).
