MUSEUM staff at Kirkleatham Hall, in Redcar, are hosting weekend craft sessions for all the family, making Christmas decorations.

The free two-hour weekend sessions take place from 2pm until 4pm on both Saturday and Sunday and start this weekend with sessions decorating clay shapes for the Christmas tree using paint and shiny paper.

Next weekend, there will be a chance to make Christmas window hangers using glass paints, while on Sunday, December 2, it is the museum's Christmas extravaganza with visits from Father Christmas, a magician, choir and musicians. There will also be the chance to make Christmas tree hats, from 10am until 4pm.
