A MUSEUM is offering half term story-telling fun for all the family.

The Dales Countryside Museum, in Hawes, will be visited by a witch, the Green Woman and a Tudor story-teller, all performed by Irene Lofthouse, who will bring a mix of stories and creative activities for children.

On Wednesday, February 19, Mari Monipeni - who says she is over 500 years old - brings tales of her French origins, travels, family crest and will help families to create their own colourful Coat of Arms to take home. The event costs £5 per child aged five to 11.

A very different character appears on Thursday, February 20, in the form of the Green Woman with stories of magical Green men and women from times past. Children can create a funky foam mosaic to protect their garden and green places. Entry is £5 per child aged four to 14.

Finally, wander with Wanda on a story-walk around the museum's grounds on Friday, February 21, as she relates tales of a headless horseman, grinning gargoyles and other spine-tingling tales. Entry is £3.50 per child aged eight to 12.

Wednesday and Thursday’s workshops are 90 minutes and run throughout the day.

Friday's story-walk is one hour and suitable clothing should be worn.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Booking and payment in advance, limited numbers per workshop.
