Family craft workshop with Henshaws

Join Henshaws on 29 and 30 October to craft your own autumn leaf wreath

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Taking inspiration from the variety of trees here at Fountains Abbey, join Henshaws and create your own autumn leaf wreath.

Using templates or drawing free hand, sketch your leaves onto paper, add some colour with the pencils, crayons or paints and attach them to a ring to make your own hanging autumn leaf wreath.

This crafting workshop will be led by Henshaws, a local charity based in Knaresborough.

The basics

Suitability

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Meeting point

Head to Swanley Grange, just a 5 minute walk from the visitor centre.

What to bring and wear

Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal is an outdoor site. Sturdy footwear will help with uneven ground and steep hills and warm clothes and waterproofs might be a good idea too.

Accessibility

Swanley Grange is accessed on level ground from the Visitor Centre, a 10 minute walk. From West Gate (15 minutes) or Studley (30 minutes) there is a steep hill (15-20% gradient) to access Swanley.

Other

Henshaws is a local charity based in Knaresborough. They bring people together to make art. Through their workshops, people living with a range of disabilities discover their talents, put them into practice and realise their full potential.
