Royal Families - Crown Making
This event is in the past
Have you ever made a crown before? What does it feel like to become a Queen or a King? How can a crown tell a story?
This is a chance for the whole family to explore Tudor history by creating a dazzling array of crowns and accessories from unconventional materials.
In this playful and sensory crown-making activity, families will explore the costumes of Tudor England – using velvet bows, paper waste and magazines, and spontaneous marks with chalk and crayons.
You will be guided all the way with artist Rose Feather to measure, decorate and bring to life a series of unique crowns. Discover how to transform everyday materials and take inspiration from picture books. Make as many crowns as you like, and display them with a crown parade, before taking them home to treasure.
This event celebrates the return of Six The Musical to Norwich. The international smash-hit and Winner of Best West End Show is currently on a UK-Tour, and features spell-binding costumes, crowns and musical numbers that re-write history from the perspective of iconic Queens.
