SAILING INTO HALF TERM

Boat magnets, crazy jumping birds and sailing boats are all part of the half term fun at Erewash Museum as popular family activities return following the  pandemic. In step with safety guidelines, however, booking for timed slots is essential for the activities which will take place 11am-2pm from Tuesday to Saturday next week in the museum gardens. To ensure everyone is safe only two households or six people can be booked per slot and those visiting will also be able to explore a fun trail and new displays - while the tea rooms will also be open. Contact the museum to book a slot on museum.bookings@erewash.gov.uk or call 0115 907 1141. Councillor Carol Hart, Leader of Erewash Borough Council, says: 

“It is great news that the museum is able to finally restart its popular events. We have to proceed with caution and safety at all times, but how wonderful it is to see a half term week back on the calendar again at our award winning museum. We have to keep our fingers crossed for the weather, but hopefully we can see the start of welcoming back visitors, old and new, to our hidden gem in the heart of Erewash.” 

Craft activities to make a sailing boat magnet take place on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday next week (1, 3, 5 June ) while children can enjoy creating jumping birds on Wednesday 2nd June and ice cream magnets on Friday 4th June. To ensure covid safety; hand sanitizers, regular cleaning and social distancing measures will be in place and toilets and baby changing facilities are available 

Erewash Museum is in Ilkeston town centre, a short walk from the Market Place. Admission is free. Contact 0115 907 1141, email museum@erewash.gov.uk  or visit the Facebook page /erewashmuseum. You can also follow the museum on Twitter @Erewash_Museum, and Instagram @erewashmuseum.
