EPPING Forest District Museum is to host a series of festive craft days for families over the next two weekends.

On Saturday December 12 and Saturday December 19, youngsters will get the chance to make gifts and Christmas decorations for their own homes between 12 noon and 4pm.

It is free to take part, but donations of £1 towards costs are welcomed by the museum, which is in Sun Street, Waltham Abbey.

There is no need to book for the events, which have a recommended age range of between five and 13 years, although children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
