Fraternité Family Fun: Shield Shenanigans
Join us to spot shields at Westminster Abbey, learn all about them, then design and paint your own to take home with you.
For hundreds of years, shields have been colourfully decorated to show family, status, beliefs and achievements. Edward III even created a shield to represent his claim to the French throne!
What are your favourite colours? Do you have a favourite animal? Or symbol? Maybe your school, club or sports team has a badge or a logo. Could you use them to make a design that represents you?
