Heritage Open Day: Collage at the Cottage
Glue sticks at the ready! Spend a late summer evening at Stoneywell for a fun and relaxed scrapbooking workshop in the garden. If you love casual crafting, cosy cottages and having a chat, this is the event for you!
- Booking essential
Join us for a relaxing evening of escapism and creativity at Stoneywell. Suitable for everyone from experienced scrapbookers to complete beginners, this is a unique opportunity to have fun, get creative and unwind in the garden as the sun sets. You can take inspiration from the family home, nestled in a quiet corner of the Charnwood Forest, and the natural landscape that surrounds it - or just have fun with a variety of materials to create your own collage at the cottage!
Under a marquee lit with fairy lights, sip on mocktails while you create. You can make a scrapbook to fill with colour, pattern and designs - or, if you're a seasoned scrapbooker, you can bring your own scrapbook with you instead. We'll provide a mountain of materials for you to play with, including pressed flowers from the garden, or use a polaroid cameras for you to snap your own photos of your evening.
Take a wander around the garden and the cottage as the evening stretches on. We will provide a range of mocktails - for free! - but there won't be any food provided, so bring along some snacks or a picnic.
This event is free, but you will need to book an arrival timeslot. Not suitable for children.
This event is funded by Heritage Open Days: New Wave, and has been co-created by a group of people aged 18-30.
