A (Smelly!) Southampton Christmas Through

Find out what Christmas was like years ago and… what it smelled like!If that’s not your thing, don’t worry. You can also use a pestle and mortar to grind your own herbs and spices, make a pomander, and other traditional decorations and create a snowy Southampton scene.

How are these sessions being made safe during C19? 

• Spaces are limited to three family groups or ‘bubbles’ of two to five people per session. If you have booked but are unable to attend, please do let us know as soon as possible so that another family can attend. 
• Families will be seated together with plenty of space in between.
• Each family will have their own resources and materials which have been sanitised or quarantined in advance
• The workshop leaders will wear clear visors and we ask that adults and over 11’s wear face coverings unless exempt.

How do I book?

Please email SCC’s Cultural Services Team at museums.education@southampton.gov.uk  and let them know the following:

• The session you want to attend
• The number of adults and children attending
• Any information you think it would help us to have about yourselves, including children’s ages
• Confirmation that one of your group is a MAX card holder
• A contact number and email for yourself
• Whether you would be able to attend an afternoon session on the same day should the morning session be oversubscribed

Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.  SCC will email confirmation of your place as soon as possible along with full instructions on what to do on the day.
