About Festive Weekend
Bring the family for a weekend of festive activities, and storytelling at the National Museum of Rural Life.
Get hands on with nature-inspired crafts in the Learning Centre, make some eco-friendly reindeer food to take home, then follow our festive trail around the museum galleries.
Sign up on the day for panto-style storytelling in the theatre with the team from Macastory. Full of festive tales, songs and plenty of joining in opportunities, you’ll feel merry in no time.
