What's On at Pendon 

Free Drop-In Junior Modelling
We are offering free modelling events on a 'drop-in', 'first-come, first-served' basis on Wednesdays from 31st July to 28th August.  At the end of a 30 minute session each child leaves with a completed model diorama.  The events are suitable for children aged 5 and over.  
Incidentally, on Tuesday 20th August, junior modelling classes will also be held at the John Lewis & Partners store in Westgate, Oxford.  These must be booked in advance through John Lewis here.

Exhibition
Over the weekend of 7 and 8 September Gordon and Maggie Gravett's latest diorama, Arun Quay, will be at Pendon. They will be demonstrating the model and will be happy to answer visitor's questions.
Family Trails
Family Trails are for our visitors with younger children.  The Trails are designed for 6 year olds and upwards and are a great way for families to experience the museum and understand more about a forgotten way of life in the 1930's.
Adult Modelling Workshops
Our Modelling Workshop programme for 2019 is available to view on our website.  Most Workshops are limited to a maximum of 6 people who all receive individual coaching.  Full descriptions of the Workshops can be found here where you can also book places for the 2019 events. Our 2020 Workshop programme will be published in September.
17th/18th August.  Advanced Weathering.  This Workshop is for modellers with basic weathering skills who wish to progress to something more innovative and individual.  There are places available.

Friends of Pendon
We have an expanded Friends programme in 2019. Friends benefit from complimentary admission to the museum and access to the Friends Place on our website, which now contains a wealth of detailed information about Pendon and its models. If you are not yet a Friend of Pendon have you considered joining?  To find out more and join click here.

We look forward to welcoming you to Pendon Museum during the summer season!  If you haven't visited for a while we feel sure you will enjoy seeing progress in the Vale Scene including the canal locks and the MSWJR station.
