Emmetts Garden Autumn Festival: Halloween Spiderweb Weaving Workshop

Create your own spooky spider-web craft in this free (with admission), drop-in activity during the Halloween half term.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Get crafty this Halloween half term at our drop-in creative workshop. Participation is free with normal admission or National Trust membership. Children are encouraged to get hands-on with simple materials and explore their creativity. Weave a spider web and/or make a pinecone spider to take home.

Led by accredited forest school teacher, Natalia with National Trust volunteers on hand to help, this activity is suitable for children aged 2+, but little ones might need some help from their grown-up.

No booking is required, just drop in to the Spiderweb Weaving Workshop under the marquee and join the fun during your visit.

To allow enough time to complete the crafting activity, drop-in before midday for the morning session or before 2.45pm for the afternoon session.

Adults will need to stay with their children during the workshop.
