Make Your Own Gold Lunula!

About this event

In this drop-in craft session, you’ll make your own shimmering gold lunula – a crescent-shaped piece of ancient jewellery.

Guided by Finds Liason Officer Ciorstaidh Hayward-Trevarthen and the Portable Antiquities team, you’ll discover why these objects were so precious to ancient Dorset people before creating your own to wear or treasure.

Inspired by our Treasure! Lost and Found exhibition, this free activity is perfect for families who want to make something special together.

Recommended for children aged 5+ but all ages welcome.
