This Autumn, join us at Morden Hall Park for a magical morning of stories and creativity. In the second of our new Community Tales series, author Dr Michelle Yaa Asantewa shares the captivating story of Mami Wata, the African goddess of water.
Our volunteers will guide you in crafting a greetings card to take home, decorated colourfully with a mermaid, cowries and beautiful fish.
