Families are invited to pop along to the Essex Police Museum on Saturday (Jan 4) to take part in a Make Your Own Calendar event.

They can visit the Chelmsford-based museum between 10am and 4pm to decorate, punch and bind their own calendar for the New Year.

Curator Becky Wash said: "This is the first of many exciting Saturday craft events for 2014. The calendars are filled with police pictures for any age to enjoy colouring in.”

It costs £1 to take part but general admission to the museum is free.

All ages are welcome and booking is not required.
