CHILDREN are invited to make Tudor sweets, learn about Tudor costume and have a go at Tudor dancing at the Museum of Farnham this weekend as part of English Tourism Week.

English Tourism Week runs from March 17 to 25 and is an opportunity to discover some of the highlights on your doorstep and the value tourism brings to the economy.

The museum’s Young Archaeologists Club, for youngsters aged eight to 13, will get in on the act with two special Tudor-themed sessions on Saturday (March 24), from 11am to 12.30pm and 2.30pm to 4pm.

Each sessions costs £5 per child and must be booked in advance with spaces "extremely" limited. Call the museum direct on 01252 715094 or email [email protected].

Other events taking place across Waverley include a ghost walk in Haslemere, a trip back in time along Godalming High Street and a tour of one of the most famous filming locations in the borough, the home of BBC Top Gear Dunsfold Aerodrome.

Jim Edwards, portfolio holder for economic development and community development at Waverley Borough Council, said: "Waverley has a lot to offer and it is important that we celebrate the contribution that tourism makes to our local economy. We have so much going on all the time and we are taking this opportunity to shout out about it."
