Why not head to our craft corner and get creative with our Museum Minis, Kizzy and Harry, and help decorate their stable as they look to celebrate their first Christmas here at the Museum.
Enjoy carols in the courtyard, whilst enjoying a mince pie or two, as the Newmarket Community Choir joins us to get us into the festive spirit.
