It was sad that we had to postpone the Sunday Funday
but it WILL happen. We will let you know exactly when
as soon as possible. If you have already bought an ID
band or a Teddy ticket you can keep them or return
them to the museum for a full refund.
Meanwhile the mosaic workshops are still going on. We
still need about 100 tiles, so please look for when the
Family and Friends’ workshops are on or organise your
own group and let us know on swaffhamheritage@
outlook.com or carter22bookings@gmail.com.
Carter 22 – Swaffham Heritage
For a movie overview of what we have already done this
year and what still lies ahead.
During October Half Term
29th October Library 11am-12.30pm - Library crafts for
children. Making mummies.
We had a rehearsal day for the Pharaoh teddies zipwire
from the church tower.
All went well and the church’s big Winnie the Pooh still
had a big smile at the end of his zipwire adventure.
Keep your flying pharaohs’ costume but you might want
to change it for a Santa outfit! We’ll let you know soon!
