Pontefract Castle Meet-up: February

Join us for our monthly Museum Meet-up at Pontefract Castle!

This month we'll be making origami birds and playing with paper crafts. We'll be inspired by beautiful birds in the museum collections.

Meet new people, learn about your local area and get hands-on with creative techniques.

We will meet in the Activity Zone at Pontefract Castle.

Jane will be your host, to greet you and lead the session.

Free, booking required in the Meetup app.
