Create Your Own Resplendent Shakespearean Ruff at Elmbridge Museum
Go to the next family fun event at Elmbridge Museum in Church Street on Saturday, 26 April from 2pm to 4.30pm to celebrate the 450th Anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth and learn more about his plays by making your own mini-theatre. For additional fun, you will also be making one the most popular accessories of his time: a ruff. The famous Elizabethan ruff, which was worn by both men and women in the sixteenth century and by Shakespeare himself, developed in style and became much more elaborate as decades went by, gaining more height and size until it reached gargantuan proportions. "Resplendent Ruffs" is part of a series of family fun events held by Elmbridge Museum in Weybridge once a month on a Saturday. Although booking is not necessary, the museum operates on a first come, first served basis so arrive early to avoid disappointment! Children must be accompanied by an adult. A charge of £1.50 per child applies. For further information, vist www.elmbridge.gov.uk/museum or contact the museum on 01932 843573 or email ebcmuseum@elmbridge.gov.uk
