Half term Calan Gaeaf : Mask making!
This October half term, celebrate Calan Gaeaf and come and create a mask with us.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Come and discover the magic and mystery of Calan Gaeaf, the Welsh celebration that marks the turning of the seasons, when nights grow longer and the veil between worlds begins to thin.
Be inspired by the season of Calan Gaeaf to create your masks - are you an owl or a bat? There will also be an opportunity to add your stories, thoughts, or dreams to the flames of the Colby Coelcerth (bonfire) - a crafty twist on the traditional coelcerth flames. You might like to take a walk around the woodland garden after the storytelling session...or not...who knows what might you find.
This activity is free for everyone to enjoy (normal car parking charges apply). Drop in anytime between 11am to 3pm, no need to book.
