Councillor Becca Everett, Lead Member for Community Engagement at Erewash Borough Council, said: “We’re proud of the novel and entertaining ways the museum continues to support engagement with reading, critical thinking, culture, and the chance to learn something new – no matter your age! If you’re looking for a wonderful, lively place to spend your time with exciting activities and family fun over the half-term break, Erewash Museum is the destination for you.”
