THE Manor House Museum and Gallery, Ilkley, has taken some tips for traditional festive decorations from Norway.

Friends of the Manor House volunteers spent a day decking the historic building in Castle Yard with traditional Norwegian Christmas decorations, including hand-crafted paper decorations and small Nisse elves.

Workshops making Norwegian Christmas paper decorations will take place on December 13 and December 20, from 1.30pm to 3.30pm.
