Museums at Night - Night Animals and Creatures

Event leader: Night Animals and Creatures

Join us after hours at the recently renovated Wisbech General Cemetery Chapel for an evening of FREE fun crafts and events with a theme of “night animals and creatures”. Families can come and meet and hold a real owl supplied by local handler and make crafts to take home including origami bats and glowing fireflies. There will be a tour of the cemetery grounds at 5.30pm where you will be able to discover more about the important people of the town who are buried there and the recent works to identify Commonwealth War graves. There will also be an opportunity to learn about the recent chapel restoration funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The event is funded and arranged by the National Lottery Funded Wisbech High Street Project as part of its Activity Plan designed to encourage local residents to visit museums and historic locations around the town.
