Wildlife Workshops this half term!
Guernsey Arts, Guernsey Museums and Guernsey Nature Commission have come
together to bring a week of WILD workshops based on the Bailiwick Wildlife
Photography Exhibition (supported by Mourant).
This half term (Saturday 14 February to Sunday 22 February) the museum will be
flooded with trails, workshops and fun activities for all ages to enjoy! We’ll be
exploring the deep, taking influence from Bailiwick Wildlife featured photographer
Tim Harvey’s work and offering a range of marine workshops and information, as
well as self led activities throughout the week.
All activities have been curated around the two temporary exhibitions currently at theMuseum, the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year in the
