During the school summer holidays Andover museum held a summer historical writing competition.
It was open to 5 -15 year olds. Children were invited to write a fictional piece of creative writing about a character found in the Museum. The historical elements had to be correct using information found in Andover Museum!
50 children signed up to this summer holiday challenge, only 9 children handed in their entries on time for judging.
Those children were invited to Andover museum this afternoon, treated to homemade lemonade and biscuits, before finding out the results of the competition. Two of the children were unable to make the event as they had entered the competition whilst visiting Andover, on holiday.
Andover Town Mayor, Barbara Long and local writer Cat Randle awarded the prizes to the children this afternoon, Saturday 15 September 2018, at Andover Museum.
There were two winners of the competition was Nicola Wheeler, and Matilda Gregory, ( who wasn’t able to attend the event)
