Winter in Aberdeen, and the damp, dark nights are drawing in - it can be a depressing season when you're this far north. As an antidote to those long-night blues, King's Museum is hosting some special festive workshops to lighten your heart and banish the gloom.
Come down to King's Museum and take part in our special festive workshop. Examine lamps from around the world, learn about different winter festivals, and create your own paper lantern to take home with you.
Light in the dark draws on the large number of beautiful lamps in the University collections, focusing on lamps, candles and lanterns of the many religious festivals and celebrations which take place in winter. Visitors can examine examples of these up close and learn about the importance and significance of light in religion.
There are 2 workshop sessions. One on Thursday 8 December from 2 - 4pm (adults only) and one on Saturday 10 December from 12 - 2pm for all ages - children and families welcome.
Booking is essential. To book your place, please contact King's Museum by calling 01224 274330 or email kingsmuseum@abdn.ac.uk
