Two Isle of Wight museums are offering "ferocious family fun" this half-term.

Organised by the Isle of Wight Council's Heritage Service, Newport Roman Villa and the Museum of Island History have activities planned.

At Newport Roman Villa, visitors can make a "fearsome" face pot at clay days on Wednesday, October 30 from 10am to 2pm.

There will also be a mythical monster museum trail, and the site will be open to explore the historic remains, including the museum and garden.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, October 29, and Thursday, October 31, from 10am to 1pm, the Museum of Island History will invite visitors to create a "ferocious" paper mask.

There will also be a fun trail exploring the stories behind some of the museum’s treasures.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn more about the mysterious Iron Age stone heads, discovered on the island and now on display at the museums.

These enigmatic faces may represent pagan gods or have held other symbolic and ritual significance, reflecting the Celtic belief that the head was the seat of the soul.

There’s no need to book, and all activities and museum entry cost £1 per person.
