Heraldic Oxford: Family Crafting

About Heraldic Oxford: Family Crafting
Have you ever wondered what the animals, colours and symbols on a coat of arms mean? From the rampant lion to a couchant unicorn, all the animals and colours you can see on a coat of arms have a symbolic meaning to be uncovered. Use your knowledge to craft your own heraldic shield.
The session runs from 11.00am to 1.00pm. Drop in between these times, but make sure you leave enough time to complete the activities.
Booking in advance is recommended to secure your place. Sales from tickets help support the museum’s work to deliver fun and accessible family activities, community engagement projects, schools’ workshops, exhibitions and special events for Oxford’s people in the Museum spaces.
