About Summer Holiday Activities at Low Parks Museum
Summer Activities at Low Parks Museum!
To support our newly opened exhibition "National Treasure: South Lanarkshire's Sir Harry Lauder Collection" on weekdays throughout the holidays, we’re pleased to offer a selection of Sir Harry Lauder themed activities, suitable for visitors young and old. And we’ll be playing some of his songs throughout the drop-in sessions so expect a singalong while you work!
Our twice daily sessions cost only £1.70 per child and are open between 10:30-12:30 then 13:30-15:30 Stay for as long as it takes to complete the activity or for the whole session, as long the small folk’s summer social calendar will allow!
On selected Saturdays throughout the holidays, we’ve asked some of our favourite people to provide free sessions and demonstrations, to educate and entertain all the family.
Hand and stick puppets: Tuesday-Friday 27-30 June 10:30am-12:30pm then 1:30pm-3:30pm. £1.70

Join us for a wonderful willow craft demonstration and workshop with Joan, who creates living willow structures, living willow tunnels, arbours, domes and fencing. Although she has been basket weaving for over 30 years, she’ll show us that willow craft is much more than baskets.
