Ross Heritage Centre will be putting on displays, exhibitions and events during the coming months, which are very varied, as well as being very much community based.
There are still places available for the Archaeological Workshops on 10th May 10 (Flint) and May 17 (small finds). If anyone wishes to join in they must book at the Heritage Centre. Places are limited so an early booking is advisable.
Until May 27, Tony Avery and his students will be exhibiting and selling their artwork. This is a very welcome return to the centre by this group and they will be showing varied work throughout the weeks. Due to the amount of work there is for display, there will be a change over during the middle week. Further details of this can be obtained by calling the Heritage Centre.
During half term there will be the usual activity for children. The Hereford team will run "Inspiring Inventions" on Saturday May 31. Due to the popularity of activities, there will be two sessions starting at 10am and 11.15am. Booking for the Hereford team events can be done by telephoning 01432 260692. This activity will cost £2 per person.
