SUMMARY:Event: Castle Hill Open Day - Wobbly Goings-on at the Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of frolics\, laughter and fun on Saturday 21 July \nCome and explore one of the oldest\, most vibrant and interesting parts of the city of Cambridge as many of the venues in the area open their doors to visitors for the afternoon for Castle Hill Open Day 2018. \nThere’ll be events aplenty and something for every everyone from 12:00pm to 5:00pm on Saturday 21 July. \nJoin us here at the Museum of Cambridge as we explore the history of jelly with Sue Bailey – our very own Fanny Cradock – and find out how combining food and science can lead to loads of wobbly\, fruit-flavoured fun in our practical demonstrations throughout the afternoon. \nFanny will tell us the history of jelly and about the copper and china jelly moulds on display in our collection. She’ll be making jellies in retro aluminium bunny rabbit jelly moulds\, so familiar to children of the 1960s and 1970s\, as well as testing modern day jelly moulds\, courtesy of Tala. \nYou can even get involved yourself! Make your own fabulously-coloured\, quick-setting agar jelly balls\, see who can make the tallest tower out of marshmallows and spaghetti and create your very own vision of Cambridge in the the year 2196. \nWe’re looking forward to seeing you there! \nDr Sue Bailey works as a food historian\, food science lecturer and consultant. She has over 25 years of experience in food and education as lead for food communications and food science degree courses at London Metropolitan University. \nA guest on Channel Four’s Great British Bake Off\, Sue showed presenter Sandi Toksvig how to make a Cambridge Pudding. She is a frequent expert contributor to Channel Four’s Food Unwrapped\, BBC One’s Rip Off Britain food exposes and ITV’s Save Money Good Health. \nSue regularly appears in the guise of the colourful and fabulously waspish Fanny Cradock\, combining demonstrations of retro 1960s and 1970s party recipes with an exploration of the chef’s influential role as an early television celebrity gourmand. Fanny was keen to encourage children to get into the fun of cooking and trying different foods and Sue carries on her campaign with gusto!

SUMMARY:Activity: Heroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Cambridgeshire had its own Robin Hood? \nInspiration for the quintessential English hero is said to come from Hereward the Wake\, a rebellious and somewhat frightful man who roamed the Fens and rallied the people to oppose William the Conqueror during the 11th century. \nHereward became a local hero. Many incredible and often farfetched tales were told about him for hundreds of years after his death. The alehouses and inns of the county were filled with songs of his adventures. \nWhile he is not forgotten today\, like many other such heroes his story has faded from popular culture. \nHeroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens is a craft and storytelling workshop led by puppet maker and animator Heather Colbert. \nJoin us and help to recount the tales of extraordinary local personalities using puppets that you will make during the session. We will be recording the performance and sharing it on our website for others to learn about these legendary characters. \nHeroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens is suitable for children aged 7-15. Materials will be provided. \nTickets are free\, but you must book so that we can manage attendance. \nThis activity is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association

SUMMARY:Activity: Raptor Day at the Museum
DESCRIPTION:Ever seen a peregrine falcon or a tawny owl up close? \nWell now is your chance\, because we have invited some of these magnificent birds\, along with their keepers\, to visit the Museum for the afternoon. \nRaptors are predatory birds that hunt and feed on rodents and other small animals. For centuries\, some species were used as  hunting birds because of their keen vision\, powerful talons and sharp beaks. Others were regarded as a threat or a menace. Join us as members of the Raptor Foundation talk about their birds in real life and in local folklore and find out which of the raptor family was once commonly thought to be a witch in disguise! \nWe know that this will be an eagerly anticipated event\, so we are running three 50-minute session during the afternoon\, in order to accommodate as many visitors as possible. You can reserve free places for a session below. \nPlease do not book for multiple sessions. we want as many visitors as possible to be able to take part. If you do\, we reserve the right to cancel all your bookings. \nThe Raptor Foundation is a local organisation based near Huntingdon that exists to protect\, rescue and rehabilitate hawks\, falcons\, owls and other raptors. You can experience a variety of birds up close at their sanctuary and even fly some during daily flight displays. The Foundation runs regular talks and hands-on sessions that include other residents including snakes\, reptiles and meerkats.More information is available from the Raptor Foundation website. \n\nThis activity is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association
