Junior Historians Club - Grim Graveyards at Shankill Library - Extra slot!

A special free workshop for children aged 6-11, in association with Queen's University Belfast & Greater Shankill Partnership Due to overwhelming demand QUB have kindly agreed to fund this additional session of this Junior Historian's Club event - no additional tickets will be released once this one sells out so book early to secure your tickets! This half-term, Junior Historians Club will be bringing the fascinating history of Shankill graveyard to life in a special free workshop in Shankill Road Library. If your child likes Horrible Histories, they will love this! Led by Dr. Robyn Atcheson, the Junior Historians will investigate the long history of the graveyard, learn about the deadly diseases of the past & take part in activities designed to ignite their curiosity. Grown-ups will stay with their Junior Historian throughout the workshop. At the end, all Junior Historians will receive a workbook full of activities to complete in the Shankill graveyard & at home to keep on practising their historical detective skills.
