A MUSEUM will hold a Christmas extravaganza next month.
The Bowes Museum, at Barnard Castle, County Durham, will stage Eat, Drink and Be Merry on Saturday, December 6.
Visitors will receive a complementary glass of mulled wine and mince pie before looking at the exhibitions exploring Christmas through the ages.
Museum curators will give talks about the collection, Christmas traditions and customs, while, for children, Santa Claus will be telling stories and giving out free presents.
Craft activities on offer include making Victorian Christmas cards, cloved oranges and tree decorations.
As well as a Christmas fair from noon to 2pm, Barnard Castle School choir will sing carols and festive treats will be on offer in the museum cafe.
