This wonderfully British rain doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon – but never fear, there is still loads to do over the weekend in Staffordshire in this wet weather!
Take the family for a fun packed day at The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery. Explore the displays of equipment used in shot firing and hunt down The Staffordshire Saxon – a recently created warrior sculpture. Alternatively, delve into Ancient Greece at the Greek, Gods and Gorgons exhibition, where you’ll discover horrifying mythical monsters, powerful gods and brave heroes. On 14th July, you can also join in with a digital painting session where you can create your own picture, inspired by an image from the museum’s extensive collection.
To stay out of the rain but still make sure that you have a ‘splashing’ good time, why not
