Did you know it’s the Summer Reading Challenge and this year it is online? At Harborough Museum, we love reading and are very lucky to share a space with Market Harborough Library.

To celebrate the Summer Reading Challenge, we are asking you to write your own story, inspired by a museum object. Download the activity sheet from the Scottish Book Trust, and choose an object from Harborough Museum to write about. If you can’t think of an object, have a look at our Collections page, or our Object of the Month series for ideas.

Hilary, one of our fantastic volunteers, has had a go at writing her own story, which you can download and read for inspiration. We would love to read your stories, so please do email them to us.
