Step into the world of Cedric, the Museum’s very own Iron Age hero, as he rallies a brand‑new army to defend our lands from the approaching Romans. But this isn’t an army of steel and shields, oh no, this is an army crafted entirely from paper, imagination, and your creativity!

 

What to Expect

  • Hands‑on making: Design and build your own paper warrior using templates, colours, and craft materials.
  • Iron Age inspiration: Learn how real warriors of the period dressed, fought, and protected their communities.
  • A growing army: Add your creation to Cedric’s ranks and watch the museum’s paper battalion grow day by day.
  • Fun for all ages: Perfect for families, young makers, and anyone who loves history with a twist.

 

Join the Defence

Drop in, pick up your crafting kit, and become part of Cedric’s story. Whether your warrior is fierce, funny, or fantastically decorated, every recruit strengthens the line.
