Take part in a family Christmas workshop
Come and have a go at printing your own Christmas cards, gift tags and wrapping paper at The Box, 27 and 28 November. Take your inspiration from the plants, starfish and Mildred the mammoth in The Box's natural history gallery. Use the ready-made ‘stamps’ or make your own 'printing blocks' to have lots of fun creating some special Christmas crafts that you’ll be proud of.
