I do like to be beside the seaside

July 30, Aug 6,13th and 20. 12 – 4pm. FREE

Dewsbury Museum

Who needs to go to the seaside when the seaside can

come to you in the shape of fun craft activities. Over

the summer, Dewsbury Museum is holding four weekly

craft sessions, each with a different theme to make sure

children can enjoy all of the fun of the seaside at home.

Starting on July 30 (day 1 of 4) with making rock pools

from recycled materials and filling them with handmade

shells and sea creatures.

On August 6, children can design and decorate a

swimming costume or trunks and on August 13, they will

be able to make their own cardboard flip-flops, decorated

with their own designs.

No trip to the seaside is complete without an ice cream,

so on August 20 youngsters will be able to colour and

decorate a paper cone to create their fantasy ice cream.

The sessions are free and there is no need to book. The

activities are suitable for all ages; children must be

accompanied by an adult.
