October Half Term Crafts

Throughout half term meet us in the potting shed for spooky autumn mask and wand making to prepare you for some Stranger Folk magic.

From the 25 October - 2 November, make your own magic rainbow mask or stranger folk nature wand.

Become part of the woodland with a magic rainbow mask of the creatures of the forest. Scratch your own designs to reveal the colours.

And if you're out on the hunt for Stranger Folk, using the adventure app (see the events page for more information), then stop off at the potting shed to make a nature wand on the way. It's perfect for closing the cracks between our world and theirs.
