Time-Hopping Holiday: Fenland

About this event

Step into the past this summer! See a glimpse of 17th-century Cambridge with activities and costumes. Join the Fen Tigers and help make an eel trap. Every Monday of the school holidays, find a historical character inside the Museum with an activity to take part in, and some stories to share. In the final three weeks, in the Arts and Artisans Room, find a Fen Tiger keen to disrupt the draining of the fens in the 1630s as Civil War grips England, and help them with some willow weaving.
