King Arthur and Merlin will also be here!

Cornitatus Aquilus will be back with  a display of surgical instruments used to treat the wounds and ailments of the brave knights.

And while you are here, why not try your hand at axe throwing! Stand alongside fellow throwers, take aim and hit the bullseye on Wild Blades’ axe throwing range. Whether you are a beginner or have thrown before, their Axe-perts will be on hand to make sure you stay safe and have fun. £5 a go.

Feeling creative?  Want to join in our scarecrow trail?

Our very first scarecrow competition! Scarecrows with a difference!  

On the theme of SCAREDY CATS we are running a competition for best scare cat –  scarecrows in the shape of a famous cat like Tom or Bagpuss, or based on a cat-themed word or saying (e.g. cat on a hot tin roof, cat-o-nine-tails, CATastrophe).

£5 to enter your clever cat creation into the competition which will be judged at 2.30pm on Sunday 25th August.  All entries must be displayed by 4pm on Saturday 24th August.

The Scaredy Cat trail will be available to view during the museum’s opening hours (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday 10am until 4pm) between 26th August and 7th September.

So put on your thinking cat and join in the fun!  Individual or group entries welcome.

Email info@heughbattery.co.uk or call into the museum for entry forms and the list of T’s & C’s. 

All entries MUST have returned a completed Entry Form and paid their entry fee of £5 by 4pm on MONDAY 19th AUGUST.  This can only be done in person at the museum – we cannot take payments online or over the phone.

If you are entering on behalf of a charity you are very welcome to have a table at the museum to promote your work and do some fundraising.
