300th Anniversary Poster Competition with Primary Times
It is 300 years ago this year since Kirkleatham Old Hall first opened as a Free School for poor boys of the area. The building became a museum in 1981. Our activities for the summer holidays are on the theme of Kirkleatham’s 300th Anniversary.
Help Kirkleatham celebrate its 300th anniversary by entering our colouring competition.
Use your imagination to add your drawings of objects you think the museum should have to represent the Past, Present and Future.
We have nine prizes on offer which include a Family Tea in Lillies Café at the Museum, a Goody Bag from the Museum shop and a box of delicious muffins delivered to your door by the ‘Fabulous Bakin’ Boys’.
There will be 1st, 2nd & 3rd prizes in the following age ranges:
5 yrs & under 6-8 yrs 9—11 yrs
Entry form colouring sheets may be found in the Museum or to download from the Primary Times website.
