Museum Make: Yuletide Hobby Horses

About Us

Make your own yuletide hobby horse using craft materials and a very large sock!
Sessions take place at 10am, 11.30am and 1.30pm.
You are welcome to bring along your own very large sock if there is a specific pattern or colour you would like or choose from one of ours. Hobby Horses were once popular toys for children, just like the rocking horse, however, they go back even further into folklore when they were popular during early English and medieval processions. During this creative session, you will have the chance to design your hobby horse whatever way you like using our craft materials...you might even make a hobby dinosaur or unicorn!
£4.50 per make

The activity takes place in a room only accessible via stairs
