Sword Making – Spring Half-Term Holiday (22-24th February)

Come into The Rifles Museum this half term to make and decorate your own sword from cardboard and tin foil or pick up an activity pack and make one at home. Copy a sword used by The Rifles today, by an antecedent of the current Regiment or come up with your own design!

Did you know that in The Rifles the weapons called ‘bayonets’ in the rest of the British Army are called ‘swords’? This means that the modern Rifleman still carries a sword! To find out why, come along to our activity session and pick up a copy of our handout ‘The Rifles – Swords, not Bayonets’.

Recommended donation: £2

Activities will take place between 10:00 am and 3:30 pm.

The activity is suitable for children aged 4 and up. Young sword makers may need help with glue and scissors.

After an activity, enjoy exploring the rest of The Rifles Museum, which is free entry. Also, don’t forget to check out the five museums in Winchester’s Military Quarter, and grab something to eat or drink at Joe's Café
