It’s Shell Week in our summer holiday activities! We love a shell at Folkestone Museum – we have hundreds in our collection from all over the world, in all shapes and sizes. They inspired this week’s crafts (but don’t worry, they’re safe in our store!)

On Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August, we’ll be making fish out of sea shells. On Thursday 13th and Friday 14th of August, join us to make sea shell frames to take home with you!

Our summer holiday activities are designed for children and young people under 13. We’ll run four activity sessions a day at 10:30, 11:30, 13:30 and 14:30. When you arrive at the museum before your chosen session, please pick up your FREE timed ticket at the main reception desk! Tickets are first come, first served on the day – we don’t allow booking in advance. We cap workshop numbers at 15 participants (plus their adults) per workshop.

All workshops are free, but we’d appreciate a small donation towards materials.
