Join us over February half-term to help us make 1,497 white spirals to commemorate those killed or wounded in the Battle of Britain.
These spirals will form part of a new exhibition on display at the Museum in November in 2018, and at two other locations across the country before then.
For those with younger children, there will be a colouring activity connected to the lace-panel.
