The apothecary shop: holiday herbal
Saturday, 2-3pm
Looking for an alternative Christmas gift? Head over to the Old Operating Theatre near London Bridge for lotions, potions and unguents based on old-school herbal medicine. Activities for children abound, including the chance to be an apothecary’s assistant.
Dust from space
Natural History Museum, Sunday 12.30-1.30pm
“Did you know extraterrestrial dust is on our streets, in our homes and even on our clothes? Find out more about this mysterious substance, how it gets here, where it’s from, and hear how it is helping us understand our own origins.” Sounds suspiciously like a tie-in for the Golden Compass film.
