HALF-TERM next week will lead to lots of excited Wokingham children, who will quickly cry, ‘I’m bored!’ To help, Wokingham Town Council is organising a fun event.

Taking place in the Town Hall in Market Place on Tuesday, October 25, the day will celebrate the industries that the borough had been famous for.

Youngsters can try their hand at mini-brick making, there are handbells to ring and there are bracelets to make, among other activities.

And staff will be on hand to help people learn more about the town hall, what it used to be in days of old, and see local historical artifacts.

There are also pointers to following the town’s mosaic trail.

Wokingham Town Council’s chair of the civic committee, Cllr David Lee, said: “We love to find ways to make Wokingham’s rich history interesting and accessible to everyone, so make sure you bring the children along on Tuesday, October 25, as we’ve lots to see and crafty activities planned.”
