Free event includes crafts and other festive fun
This Saturday (27 August) there will be a free children’s summer fair at the William Morris Society Museum on Upper Mall (W6 9TA). The hosts will be joined by Benjamin Franklin House and Fulham Palace, for a morning of fun activities from 10am to 1pm There will be a chance to get inspired by the William Morris Society’s latest exhibition on May Morris by recreating her Orange Tree in 3D form and creating beautiful tissue paper flowers. Benjamin Franklin House will be exploring letters from the past with the chance to write your own 18th century letters using quills, ink and parchment. Fulham Palace will be bringing along some mystery objects from the past. Get curious and guess what they are, who used them, and when and where you think they come from and there will be a chance to get into costume. This is a free event, although, families are encouraged to book tickets in advance. There is a maximum capacity for each space, therefore families with pre-booked tickets will be prioritised for entry. The William Morris Society exists to make better known the life, work and ideas of William Morris, designer, craftsman, poet and socialist. The Society’s premises are in the Coach House and basement of Kelmscott House, Morris’s Hammersmith home for the last 18 years of his life.
