Families flocked to the Old Hall in Parnell Street, Gainsborough, this half term to join in with the new ‘Friday Fun Club’.

This is a drop-in club where children can make craft based projects to take away for just £1.

Throughout the half term week there were a variety of craft events at the hall which had a ‘Winter Warriors’ theme.

The children were able to let their creativity juices flow and enjoyed making helmets, swords and shields.

The’Friday Fun Club’ runs on holiday Fridays throughout the year, with different themes each time.

During the Easter holidays the theme will be ‘Shapeshifters’ and the events will include various printing projects.

All children who visited the Old Hall with their families throughout half term who were not part of the club also had the chance to make their own medieval crafts during their visit.

Gainsborough Old Hall is a large, late- medieval manor house built by the noble Burgh family around 1460.
