SUMMARY:Exhibition: All in a Cave of Snow - the Strange Tale of Elizabeth Woodcock
DESCRIPTION:If your curiosity is piqued by the extraordinary\, then we have quite a tale to tell you \nCome visit and discover more about the remarkable Elizabeth Woodcock\, a resident of the village of Impington who survived for nearly eight days in a cave of snow after a fall from her horse on a tempestuous evening in February 1799. \nBased around contemporary accounts\, our exhibition uses objects from our own collection to illustrate Elizabeth’s tremendous fortitude\, as she struggled to survive in her icy cavern with just an almanac\, a snuff box\, a nutcracker\, a red handkerchief and a shoe. We will also explore the obsolete and rather alarming medicinal treatments that she endured after she was found. \nHer amazing survival story spread across the county and then countrywide and many flocked to her with gifts that included bountiful amounts of liquor. Such generous quantities of alcohol – both from well-wishers and from doctors – may well have accelerated her declining health and caused her death just five months later in July.  \nPerhaps it might be said that Elizabeth died as a result of kindness… \nVisit our blog and discover the link between Elizabeth\, a common item of clothing and a famous nursery rhyme. \nThis exhibition is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association

SUMMARY:Exhibition: A Loyal Toast
DESCRIPTION:From a simple ceremony in a village church to the pomp and circumstance of royal nuptials\, weddings are rarely sedate affairs \nDid you know that the town of Cambridge celebrated the marriage of Prince George\, Duke of York\, and Mary of Tek on 6 July 1893 with a day long programme of games\, concerts\, fireworks and a tea for a thousand of the aged poor on Parker’s Piece? \nThere is no doubt that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials on Saturday 19 May will inspire much of the same joy and happiness\, and we are getting involved. A Loyal Toast explores the many customs associated with marriage in Cambridgeshire and celebrates the big day with a display of commemorative objects from past royal weddings – including some surprises! \nWe also want to hear from you\, so tell us how you will be celebrating the royal wedding below.  \n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n					\n						\n							\n							\n						\n						\n						\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n										\n										\n									\n									\n										\n										\n									\n								\n							\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n									\n										\n									\n									\n									\n								\n							\n						\n					\n				\n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nTell us how you will celebrate the royal wedding or share a story\, memory or custom from your own special day(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			\n	\n\n\nYour Postcode(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n	\n\n				\n					\n				\n						Submit		\n		\n		\n	 \nΔ \n\nWe will only keep your contact details in order to follow up on your submission to Tracing Traditions and A Loyal Toast\, otherwise we will delete them at the end of the exhibition on 3 June 2018.

SUMMARY:Activity: Puppet Making for Adults
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is interested in puppet-making  \nOur recent workshop for children Heroines\, Highwayman and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens generated a huge amount of interest from adults as well as children.

SUMMARY:Activity: More Tales from the Fens\, a Storytelling and Puppet Making Workshop for Children
DESCRIPTION:How were the Gogmagog hills created? Just why is the rest of Cambridge so flat?  \nCambridgeshire has a rich history of folktales and storytelling and there are many fascinating tales about the area. \nYou can find out about the place in which we live in More Tales from the Fens\, a follow-up to our Heroines\, Highwayman and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens workshop\, which ran over Easter. Puppet maker Heather Colbert will tell some lesser known tales from Fenland folklore and you will help her by making simple rod puppets with which to perform these stories in our very own Museum puppet theatre. \nWe will be recording More Tales from the Fens and sharing it on our website for others to enjoy. \n More Tales from the Fens is suitable for children aged 7-15. Materials will be provided. Tickets 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: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
