Verulamium Museum Family Weekend: Sea god or shell mosaic

Verulamium Museum is running its Roman family craft weekend on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, with sessions from 10:00 to 15:30 both days. The activity this time is making a paper mosaic of a sea god or a shell, and you take it home with you when you're finished.

It's part of the museum's family weekend series, where the idea is to make something to take away as part of your visit rather than just looking around. If you've never been, Verulamium is the Museum of Roman Verulamium, so it's built around the Roman town that once stood here in St Albans. There are permanent collections to see alongside these family weekends, and they also run talks, tours and other public events throughout the year.

The craft activity is included in paid museum admission, so you don't pay extra for the session itself. Tickets are £4 to £10, with standard admission usually £10 for adults, £5 for children under 16, and a £23 family ticket. Under-fives go free, and there are discounts for local residents. The museum is on St Michael's Street, AL3 4SW, and with sessions running from 10:00 to 15:30 on both Saturday and Sunday, you can drop in whenever suits you best.
