Castle Crafts - Anglo-Saxon Brooches - Clitheroe Castle Museum

Delve back in time and make your very own Anglo-Saxon Brooch in this guided craft activity. Learn more about the Saxons and their flair for fashion.

Using a template and craft material provided, you will be able to decorate a Saxon brooch in your own style which can then be fastened using an optional safety pin. During the session the craft leaders will tell you more about Saxon jewellery and fashion as well as show photo examples of brooches to spur your creativity.

£6 per craft plus a sheet of fun facts to take home.

Booking for this event is advised to ensure your place. Children must be accompanied by an adult. This session is aimed at ages 5-11yrs, although older creatives are more than welcome!

Paints, and colouring pens will be used in this activity, as well as glue to affix some decorations, so clothes for messy activities are advised.

Our Castle Craft sessions run every Wednesday in August, each with a different creative theme inspired by history. Check our event pages for more details.
