FAMILIES can travel around the world at Braintree Museum during a series of themed half-term events.

Each day is designed to represent and celebrate a separate culture from around the world.

Saturday's theme is India and you can learn simple printing techniques before making your own Indian inspired t-shirt or bag.

Then on Tuesday revellers can set off to Africa and create their own mask, Ndebele House and collar necklace.

Mexico is the focus of Wednesday, with mini sombrero decorating, maracas and a mirror to take home.

Next Thursday the culture in question is China and museumgoers can make a lantern, dragon puppet and rattle drum.

Then next Friday is the turn of Australia and the event includes making dot pictures, a boomerang and rattle drum.

All events are free with the price of admission.

Booking in advance is essential.
