Summer Crown Making Workshop & Fireside Storytelling

Summer Crown Making Workshop & Fireside Storytelling

Saturday 21st June

Slades Park Pavilion Café and Talbot Woodland

As the year turns, we again celebrate the height of summer with a Summer Crown Making Workshop from CoCreate, followed by a magical woodland procession and fireside storytelling with performers Anna Shiels and Martin Coyne.

The event begins with a Summer Crown Making Workshop at 2:30pm, designed especially for younger children with the support of a supervising adult. Using natural materials and simple techniques, children will create their own summer crown to wear during the next part of the day. Places at the workshop are limited and there is a small charge, so do book your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/summer-crown-family-craft-workshop-230pm-tickets-1365513631029?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

At 4pm, we’ll set off together on a short woodland procession, walking as a group into the woods to the storytelling site. There, gathered around a small fire, families can enjoy a relaxed session of original and traditional stories, told by performers Anna Shiels and Martin Coyne.

The storytelling is free and there’s no need to book. It will finish around 5pm, but you’re welcome to stay on a little longer. You might like to bring marshmallows to toast over the fire as the day draws to a close.

Please be aware:

The storytelling takes place outdoors in the woods – bring warm layers and insect repellent in case of midges.
Seating is limited (mainly on logs) – feel free to bring a blanket or something to sit on.
This is primarily a standing event, suitable for families with children.

We hope you’ll join us for this simple and enjoyable way to mark the summer together.
