2 DAYS FOR THE DIARY..LINDSAY'S MARZIPAN SWEETIE KITCHEN, ALEX'S 'OSS AND YOUR GUIDE IAIN McNICOL.

Lots of Ulverston people remember the Sir John Barrow Cottage as a sweet shop, and for one day only, on Thursday July 26th, it will be again. Kind of.

Lindsay Ward and her junior assistant will be running a Marzipan Fruit Sweets kitchen, where visitors will be able to make tiny sweets with marzipan and food colouring as part of our shared open day with Green Lane Archaeology and Historian Iain McNicol.

Iain opens the cottage to visitors every thursday. Last week a group of Year Three boys and girls from SJB school arrived, and Iain says some have made return visits, and acted as Guide to their little brothers and sisters.

On Saturday July 28th John and Alex will be in the cottage, where you'll have a chance to see how  Alex's 'obby 'oss is progressing. More on that to follow.

Iain will be in the cottage on thursday from 11am till 4pm, and Lindsay will be on hand to make sweets with you from 11am till 2pm, for as long as stocks last.
A warning though; marzipan contains nuts.

Alex and John will be on hand on saturday from 10 till 2.
