John Gray Centre gearing up for double jubilee celebration
A DOUBLE celebration takes place at the John Gray Centre later this month.
The John Gray Jubilee will mark 10 years since the Haddington venue opened, while also toasting the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
A day of fun activities for children and special talks for adults is planned on May 28.
The day begins at 10.30am with a jubilee fancy dress Bookbug, followed by a history talk and special author event featuring David Weinczok, who wrote The History Behind Game of Thrones: The North Remembers, half an hour later.
An hour of family and house history takes place from 1pm, then a family interactive storytelling session with Courier columnist Tim Porteus from 2pm.
Neil Fraser, from Historic Environment Scotland, gives a talk from 2pm and there are creative crafts and trails in the library and museum throughout the day.
