It’s only just over a week until the fabulous Sea Show comes to Cranborne village hall. You’ll meet Morwenna the ‘beautiful’ mermaid, Ruan the reformed seagull and Salty Seadog Captain Pemburthy, as well as mischievous sea-squirts, anemones, limpets, crabs and pilchards. Come and celebrate the sea!

It all takes place at 10.30am on Friday 25th July. Afterwards there’s a children’s puppet-making workshop – book now as places are limited.

Come and join in the fun at this brilliant Artsreach event performed by the wonderful Squashbox Theatre. Email events@cranbornevillagehall.org.uk or call Alison on 01725 517028 to book tickets. It’s £6 for adults, £5 for children, £20 for a family. The workshop is £3 per child.

Interested in family history or local history? Come along tomorrow evening to the History Hub at 7.30pm at Cranborne village hall, for a chance to collaborate, share experience or just see how other people go about their research.

You can talk to others about your own genealogy research and get help if you’ve hit a brick wall.  The Cranborne archives will also be open for those who’d like to have a look.

If you can’t make evening sessions, then the next one is at 2.30pm on Monday 27th July.

The Cranborne History Hub is for anyone interested in local history or genealogy. It’s a chance for history buffs to share information, expertise and ideas, and get some help when you hit a brick wall. Also, the extraordinary Cranborne archive will be open for anyone interested.

The first session is on Monday 14th July at 7.30pm, and the second on Monday 28th July at 2.30pm. We’ll be alternating evenings and afternoons so there should be a time to suit you.

Come along to the village hall for what should be a great collaborative group. It’s only £3 a session but your first one is free. More info from dl@cranbornevillagehall.org.uk
