The award winning Erewash Museum will be transformed into
a Winter Wonderland of seasonal celebration during
December leading up to the Christmas break. The three-week
festive wonderland will see the stables area of the museum’s
historic Dalby House home decked out with all things
Christmas, creating a magical scene where children can take
part in a themed activity trail until Saturday 23rd December.
Visitors can drop in to see the displays between 10am and 4pm
on each of the museum’s usual opening days.
As part of the celebration the museum hosts its popular Christmas Fayre
on Saturday 2nd December between 11am-3pm when visitors have a chance
to pick up gifts from a range of craft stalls. Santa will also be visiting and
there is a chance to meet some reindeer. Admission is £1.50 for children
over the age of 2 – free admission for adults (16 and over) and babies.
Father Christmas will return for three Santa Saturdays, on 9th, 16th and
23rd December when he will be in residence in The Stables between
10.30am-3.30pm. Children can visit him for £2.50, which includes a
present to take home. Councillor Mike Wallis, Erewash Borough Council’s
Lead Member for Culture and Leisure, says:
“We love to deck out the halls of Erewash Museum every December and
we know the whole wonderland and Christmas celebration is very
popular with families. It’s a magical time and gives families a chance to
get together and enjoy some festive fun in the lead up to the big day.”
