VISTORS to Worcestershire's County Museum will be getting into the Christmas spirit this weekend.

The museum, based at Hartlebury Castle, is hosting the first of three festive weekends, which will continue on December 10,11, 17 and 18.

On the first two weekends, Waseley Hills Crafts Group will be selling a range of items in the castle's great hall and there will also be musical entertainment from carolling choirs, including the Kidderminster Valentines.

On the third weekend, there will be lots of children's activities taking place in the galleries around the museum.

Father Christmas will arrive in his sleigh at noon on each of the days and there will be the opportunity for young visitors to meet him in his grotto.

The museum will be open from 11am until 5pm. For further information, contact 01299 250416.
