CHRISTMAS events for adults and children alike are being held at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum.

The events begin on Saturday with an art session for six to nine-year-olds called Big Art for Little People, which will give children a chance to make sparkling Christmas decorations with artist Serena Partridge.

On the same day, Diane Barker will give a free talk and introduce Drokpa - People of the Solitudes, an exhibition which includes pictures of nomadic life in eastern Tibet.

On December 20, there is a special Big Art for Little People family workshop, where adults can join in. Advance booking is essential.

A mysterious story from the depths of the sea rounds off the pre-Christmas entertainment. The Selkie Bride is presented by The Little Angel Puppet Theatre company, which is suitable for ages four and over.

Finally, children can banish their post Christmas blues and make their own paper gloves with Serena Partridge.

There is also a variety of Christmas holiday activities planned.
