  • 14 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking not required

Family transport-themed model-making extravaganza featuring wings & wheels, rails and sails from Dorking's past.

Join the Museum team for a transport-themed model-making session using specially commissioned cut out card kits, unique to Dorking Museum, to make models of vehicles from Dorking's history. All children must be supervised while taking part. The family activity will tie in with Dorking Museum's autumn exhibition 'Sweeping through History' which features local company Johnstons ( who have occupied a site in Dorking for 100 years). Exhibits will explore the development of these essential vehicles from their infancy to the present day and the impact of the company (now owned by Bucher Municipal) on the town. The exhibition will run throughout the Heritage Open Days period. Free model kits will be available for children to take away throughout the Heritage Open Day period.
