Have some pre-festive fun at this relaxed adults only workshop!

We all have our favourite bathtime brand, but have you ever thought about making your own? Leave the kids at home and just relax and have a blether while trying our hand at making some eco-friendly bath bombs! Give them as a Christmas gift or treat yourself.

Refreshments will be provided and all materials will be supplied.

Friday 1st December 7.00pm - 8.30pm

Tickets £5 to cover materials costs

BOOK HERE

Please contact Julia Branch on 01333 310628 or julia@scotfishmuseum.org to book your place.

Please Note: Your creations will time need to dry so you won’t be able to take them away on the night. Just let us know when you would like to pick them up and we will have them ready for you.

Kipper the Cat is feeling festive!
