Half-term food events at Ironbridge Gorge Museums
The museums in the Ironbridge Gorge are offering a packed menu of events this May half-term with the theme of food.
Between May 25 and June 2, visitors can explore what the Victorians ate and create their own edible tiles, sherbet sweets, or biscuits from air dry clay.
At Blists Hill Victorian Town, visitors can get an insight into what the Victorians tucked into and watch a special cooking demonstration at 12pm each day.
Mrs Clack will teach Constable Jarrett how to cook for himself before you can join the town's residents in making traditional sweet treats.
Meanwhile, at the Enginuity museum. As part of the 'Tantalising Taste' workshop, children can explore how we use our five senses to detect flavours before working together to make their own sherbet sweets.
The event is in collaboration with Fizz Pop Science, and is suitable for children aged five to 11.
An additional charge of £3 applies on top of an Enginuity ticket price. The event costs £1 for PASS PLUS holders.
One-hour long workshops begin at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. However, spaces are limited and must be booked.
The Coalport China Museum is hosting drop-in sessions for children over the age of two where they will be able to make biscuits from air dry clay.
Children will be able to take their own unique biscuits home, which will be ready to be painted a few days later.
All equipment will be provided at the event which costs £3 per person on top of a Coalport China Museum ticket price, or £1 for PASS PLUS holders.
The sessions will take place between 11am and 3pm.
Elsewhere, at the Jackfield Tile Museum, children over the age of two will be able to create their own tile design on an edible biscuit which they can take home and eat.
The drop-in event, which runs all day, costs £3 per person on top of Jackfield Tile Museum ticket price, or £1 for PASS PLUS holders.
All materials will be provided.
