If you’re looking for ideas to keep the kids entertained over half term, Lancashire Police Museum at Lancaster Castle is holding a free craft activity on Thursday February 16.

Families can join staff at the museum, located in Lancaster Castle’s former prison, to make their own police helmet or police car with paint, felt and tissue paper.

It’s a great way for little ones to stay out of mischief indoors in bad weather, and the museum is open until 4pm so you’ll have time to explore afterwards.
