the Lost Beasts of Buxton
Saturday 29th June
1 - 4pm
Buxton Museum and Art Gallery
Making carnival
masks and hats inspired by our very own
scimitar-tooth cats, cave lions, wild
horses and mammoths.
Once upon a time
and not so long ago there were wolves in the Peak District hills, wild boars in
the woods and beavers in the rivers. Once there were wild ponies here, and cave
lions, reindeer and bears. There were scimitar-toothed cats and straight-tusked
elephants.
Before that, long and longer ago there were strange sharks swimming
in ancient limestone seas.
What wonderful animal
would you celebrate?
Join us at the Museum to make animal masks and hats to wear in Buxton Carnival - or just to wear and enjoy and relish the animals that lived here once (or, for unicorns, maybe "should have lived here once").
Celebrate the ancient animals of the Peaks and join Two Left Hands in the Buxton Carnival Parade. A BM125 workshop as part of the celebrations for the Museum’s 125th anniversary
