CHILDREN, mums, dads and grandparents all enjoyed making maps at Saffron Walden Museum last Wednesday.
Maureen Evans, from the museum, said: "It was wonderful day and we had more than 100 people turn up to the two activities. The children all enjoyed being explorers, collecting things from around the world and being creative."
