Our next session will be on Saturday 7th March from 10.30 – 12.30 and will be held in the Learning Room at the Museum of Somerset.

The session will be led for us by Dan Broadbent who will be telling us all about the famous Cheddar Brooch which is on display in the Museum.

This is a very rare Early Medieval brooch that lay hidden for many centuries.  It is made of silver and copper and decorated with dragons.  It is over a thousand years old and one of the most important objects ever found in Somerset.

Dan will tell us all about the history of the brooch and how it was found,  We will then take it in turns to visit the brooch in the museum and then make our own copy!
