Get ready to spread your wings at Dinefwr's Big Bird Day!

Once your creation is complete, it's time to show it off! Wear your costume as you wander through Newton House, strike a pose in the beautiful formal garden and capture the perfect summer selfie.
Part of our Birding with Branwen and Summer of Play programme, this playful workshop celebrates creativity, storytelling and the joy of seeing the world from a bird's-eye view.
Free workshop. Booking essential. Suitable for ages 5–12. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Normal admission charges apply.
