Event information

Inspired by the current art exhibition at Berwick Museum & Art Gallery, the Union Chain Bridge team are welcoming families to take part in a series of summer activities themed on the topic of 'light'.

In this activity, children have a go at making their own shadow puppets, complete with moving parts. Discover amazing examples of puppet theatre from around the world and get creative in order to make your own character to take home.

This activity is perfect for children aged around 7-11 years and for those who care for them (we suggest each child has an adult accompanying them, as children may need some help with parts of the practical activity.) The session will last around one hour. Please note that parents/carers are required to stay for the duration of the event.

Berwick Museum & Art Gallery ticket prices:
• Adult: £5
• Multiple adults purchased at the same time: £4.50
• Concession (OAP and student): £4
• 16 and under: FREE
