School's out for summer and Emma Harper rounds-up what's on at Mill Green Museum and Mill and Welwyn Roman Baths during the holidays.
This summer join us down at the Watermill in Hatfield for a series of live events and family activities including the return of our Teddy Bear Fun Day.
On Friday, August 19 join us for our ever-popular Teddy Bear Fun Day at the Watermill.
Bring along your teddies, old and new, for a picnic down at the Mill.
There will be bear-inspired craft activities, a teddy bear hunt through our gardens, storytelling and lots more besides.
Refreshments will be available from the Miller’s Kitchen.
But that’s not all, our sister site, the Roman Baths at Welwyn, will be open throughout the summer holidays.
There will be family activities across both our sites to keep the kids entertained in the holidays.
Join us at the Roman Baths every Wednesday and at the Watermill every Thursday for activities inspired by these two wonderful sites and our museum collection.
From clay to cross-stitch, mask making and crown decorating, there’s lots to get crafty with.
You can also immerse yourself in the Ancient Roman world with our sessions on Roman theatre and army life, whilst at the Watermill on August 11 children can experience Victorian life first-hand with our Victorian Day.
If you’re looking for something more relaxing, on the last Sunday of every month we’re welcoming a different local musical artist or group to play in our beautiful gardens.
Hear an eclectic array of music with folk music with Jon Bickley and friends, local duo Rylands Heath, and classical music and show tunes from Hatfield and Welwyn Community Choir – there really is something for everyone! Take a seat in our garden or bring your own blanket and enjoy some light refreshments from the Miller’s Kitchen.
We’re also pleased to announce that we will once again be partnering with Hertfordshire County Council and the Virtual School to extend our opening times for the Miller’s Kitchen at the Watermill.
This café offering light refreshments – including Cream Teas with homemade scones made with flour fresh from the mill – will be open Wednesdays to Sundays until August 28. So pop down for a tasty treat with friends and family.
