May Half Term - Family crafting sessions

Stuck for something to do over the holidays? Why not come and join in with some simple crafts?

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Come and join us in Stable 6 throughout May half term for some family crafting sessions.

In Victorian times, people went on dangerous missions across the world to collect exotic plant species and bring them back to the UK. Uncover these dangerous missions this half term in the garden.

Continue your exploration quest and come and make some Chinese blossom art to take home. We will be using paints and getting messy with finger painting, so please come dressed in clothing you don't mind getting paint on.

Great activity for all ages, especially on a wet day. Free activity, car parking charges apply unless NT member. 11-2pm daily.

If you want to complete the free Plant Hunters garden trail before or after your art creations, you would need to head to Visitor Welcome to collect your trail passport. Admission charges apply, unless NT member.
