There’ll be plenty for all the family to see and do this Easter at Milestones, Hampshire’s living history museum, in Basingstoke. Throughout the Easter Weekend, from 21 to 24 March, visitors can step back in time to the Victorian era. On Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday Milestones costumed interpreters will be celebrating a seasonal Romany Wedding. It is 1900 and two gypsy families have come together at the marriage of their children. Times are changing and they are considering their future. Should they give up the travelling lifestyle or hold on to their traditional ways? Only you can help them decide. And on Easter Saturday, why not put on your dancing shoes and join local Morris dancers as Milestones celebrates a special Day of Dance? Throughout the Easter holidays the museum will be going creepy crawly crazy! Between Tuesday 8 April and Friday 11 April and Tuesday 15 April and Friday 18 April, visitors can get close to bugs and insects as Zoolab present special animal handling sessions. Discover Madagascan hissing cockroaches, mega millipedes and many more. Drop in workshops, lasting 45 minutes, will be held five times each day between 10.30am and 4.30pm.
