We’ve had such a lovely afternoon at Okehampton Castle - the sun shone and it was wonderful to see so many people there. Thank you English Heritage for having us!
We took along part of our handling collection, crafts for children to colour and make, plus our new Walks leaflet (3 walks to do each starting from the Museum - various lengths with the longest heading out to Yes Tor) available from the Museum shop. A few pictures from today
The Museum will be open this Sunday (19th May) 1030am-130pm so why not stop by on your way to Bluebell Sunday!
