WHITCHURCH Girl Guides will take control of the Silk Mill this weekend as part of a nationwide event.

‘Take Over Day’, which is the idea of organisation Kids in Museums, will see the girls leading demonstrations, running the tea room and even taking on the role of general manager.

Organisers at the Silk Mill, who also took part in the event last year, will hand over the reins tomorrow.

A spokesperson at the Silk Mill said: “It is a great opportunity for everyone involved and is definitely a two-way learning process.

“If you are planning your visit on that day do ask the young people what they think of their experience.”
