The Knutsford Millennium Tapestry will provide the inspiration for a creatively challenging workshop around the concept of community and public art.

They will then be required to create their own original piece of art that celebrates Knutsford’s / their school’s unique identity.

• History Hunters (Half day)

Curriculum matches: Citizenship, History, literacy

Uncover the mysteries of Knutsford through the objects and relics that history has left behind. Pupils will look at items covering a 1000 year history from the Domesday Book of 1086 to the Knutsford Millennium Tapestry. Through hands-on exploration and group discussion, pupils can create a picture of Knutsford’s history by making and using their own time-line.
