We're starting to feel the chill up in Mdina so we've prepared a calendar of Christmas events guaranteed to warm up December. For starters here are some events we're organising for children (don't forget to bring a cushion!):
Sunday 14th December: Christmas-themed readings for children in English with Ellen Beunderman. Time: 10.30-11.15am. Recommended age group: 7-10 years old.
Saturday 20th December: Author Trevor Zahra reads excerpts from his works in Maltese. This is an opportunity to meet an author who has become an indelible part of everyone’s childhood reads. Time: 10.30-11.15am. Recommended age group: 8-12 years old.
Saturday 27th December: ‘Illuminating Initials’ painting workshop for Children. Drawing inspiration from the illuminated manuscripts in the Museum, the children will create and decorate an initial. This workshop will run throughout the day and children can drop in at any point. All materials will be provided free of charge.
Entrance to the Museum and participation in the workshop and readings is free of charge for children up to 12 years, when accompanied by a paying adult. Booking for all the above events is advised.
Books by Trevor Zahra will be available for sale at the gift shop and the author will sign them after the reading.
.....and here are some other goodies for adults:
