This Easter holiday, The Hockey Museum (THM) has partnered with Woking Library on an animal trail and craft activity as part of the nationwide initiative The Wild Escape. Between 1 & 15 April children aged 7-11 can find four animals that have ‘escaped’ from THM’s collection hidden around Woking Library. As children search for these animals they will learn about their symbolism and relevance to hockey as well as how we can protect these animals in the wild. Children can make their own origami version of each animal to ‘release’ back into the wild (no littering please).
THM is taking part in The Wild Escape within our local habitat of Surrey. Participating museums will conclude their Get Wild About Surrey event on Earth Day, 22 April, with a display of their projects at Haslemere Museum.
THM’s excellent contribution to The Wild Escape has been fashioned by volunteer Elysia Morgan with support from THM’s curatorial staff.

The Wild Escape invites museums and schools across the nation to take part in a celebration of UK wildlife. If you do not live in Surrey, then be sure to look out for activities at museums near you this Easter.
The Wild Escape is made possible by lead support from Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants, with additional support from Art Fund and a group of generous individuals and trusts.
