SUMMARY:Talk and Signing: Cambridge Women and the Struggle for the Vote
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Cambridge was at the forefront of the struggles for women’s rights to vote a century ago? \n\nMillicent Fawcett\, the national leader of the non-militant Suffragists and arguably one of the most influential women in Britain during the last 100 years\, was a city resident and founded the Cambridge Women’s Suffrage Association. What’s more\, leading militant Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst spoke at a number of riotous rallies and meetings. \nAuthor Sue Slack has researched the role of Cambridge women in the struggle for voting rights\, from the late 19th century to 1918 Act that granted suffrage to women over the age 30 and on to equal voting rights in 1928. Alongside many familiar names are accounts of many others who fought for rights that we take for granted today. \nJoin us in the Enid Porter Room from 2:00pm – 4:00pm on Saturday 15 September to find out more about the local women who contributed to the Great War and protested against it\, founded local groups for the Women’s Institute and Girl Guides\, led developments in eduction and welfare\, and became the first female MPs\, barristers\, magistrates and surgeons.

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.

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:Talk: Send Her Victorious
DESCRIPTION:Cambridge is no stranger to a royal celebration and the sheer scale of some has been remarkable \nWith arrangements for this month’s royal wedding well underway\, valued Friend of the Museum Tamsin Wimhurst takes us back 180 years to the preparations for another major royal event: the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Victoria on 28 June 1838.   \nConscious that this was to be event of a lifetime\, the great and the good of Cambridge conceived of a celebration that would involve more than 20\,000 townspeople. They had ambition\, they had enthusiasm and they knew how to plan and organise. All they had to do was to unveil their spectacular scheme and keep their fingers crossed that the unpredictable English weather would be kind to them. \nSend Her Victorious compliments our current exhibition A Loyal Toast. \nThis talk is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association

SUMMARY:Talk: Safeguards Against Witchcraft - Local Protective Practices
DESCRIPTION:Expanding the narrative of our current exhibition Safeguards Against Witchcraft\, this session will explore more stories of the protective practices used by the people of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire \nWitches\, warlocks and magic were once a part of everyday life\, provoking fear and trepidation throughout the late Medieval and Early Modern periods.  \nSo great was the perceived threat that practising witchcraft became a capital offence in Great Britain during the sixteenth century. Suspicion gripped the people of East Anglia and witch-hunts and the brutal trials of local women\, as well as their families\, became commonplace. \nAlice Samuel\, a resident of the village of Warboys\, became national news when Lady Cromwell fell ill and subsequently died after meeting her\, confirming the locals’ suspicions of witchcraft. Alice and her family were taken to trial and hanged in Huntingdon. \nWhile the violence arising from the witch mania that consumed the country is well known\, the steps taken by individuals to protect their homes\, their kin and themselves are often overlooked. There was so much that could be done to stop a witch from causing harm and all that was needed was a single\, worn shoe… \nJoin us in the Dining Parlour at our Museum on Monday 19 March to learn more \nThis talk is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association

SUMMARY:Talk: Bags of Yarn
DESCRIPTION:Discover the joys of creating beautiful and practical things from recycled materials\nCambridge textile artist Jenny Langley will explore how working with recycled materials feeds her creativity and inspires her to try new and different ideas. \n“It lead me to a deep appreciation of all the good things that I have in my life\, so I’m much happier with my lot than I used to be.
