Families
St Katherine's will welcome families and groups and values the contribution we can
make to children's and families' leisure and learning.
We plan to offer a wide range of exciting events and resources for families. The
displays in St Katherine’s will be interactive and include opportunities for learning
through play, for example, dressing up, artistic activities and playing Victorian
games.
Every school holiday and on some weekends, families will be able to explore the
history and heritage of St Katherine's through drama, storytelling, music, art workshops,
creative activities, historic craft demonstrations and much more.
For example, one day you may meet a Victorian street seller displaying his wares,
listen to the intriguing story of St Katherine, learn a medieval dance, or how to
make a scented pomander to ward off evil smells. Alternatively, you could pick up
a worksheet, or family trail to guide you round the displays and explore St Katherine's
through your imagination and creativity.
During the restoration of St Katherine's, a limited range of holiday and family
events will take place in the adjacent community centre. Check out our events programme
for details.
