Making Poppies in the Museum

The Market Hall Museum is organising poppy-making sessions on the first Wednesday of each month, for the World War One commemorative installation in St. Mary’s Church.

You can have a go at knitting, crocheting or making felt poppies. If you can’t knit or crochet, friendly assistants will be on hand to show you how. Join in the fun, whatever your age and ability, and find out more about the Warwick Poppies 2018 Campaign.

In October, St. Mary’s will unveil a huge display of poppies made by organisations and individuals, to mark the centenary of the 1918 Armistice. The aim is to have at least one poppy for every member of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment who died in the Great War, that’s 11,610 from the county who did not return from the war.

The sessions coming up are on May 2nd, June 6th and July 4th, all from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. The workshops are free to attend but donations are welcome; there’s no need to book.
And for poppy-makers there’s 10% off in the museum cafe.
