A READING museum is hosting an interactive festive shopping event on Sunday, November 27.
The Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) is offering visitors the unique experience of buying gifts while getting stuck into some Christmas crafts.
Shoppers will be able to interact with local suppliers and enjoy treats in the museum’s cafe.
All money raised through purchases will help support The MERL’s work with collections and communities.
There will also be seasonal performances by Universal Voices, a children’s community choir run by the University of Reading’s Institute of Education.
Parking is free and is available on Acacia Road next to the museum.
Admission is free, with visitors able to wander around the building and grounds.
Alongside this event, the museum is also hosting a family Christmas event called Magical Lights, which takes place on Wednesday, December 21.
It will allow visitors young and old to enjoy light-based craft activities in its garden.
