Thursday 6th April 2023

Description
During this 90 minute hands-on workshop you will learn how to create a bird feeder using simple willow weaving techniques. All materials will be provided. An exciting Easter egg hunt is also included in the price of the ticket.
Willow was once grown at the Royal Gunpowder Mills to make charcoal, a key ingredient of gunpowder. Today, the site’s waterways and woodlands are home to a variety of wildlife including deer, birds and otters.
This creative workshop is the perfect way for children to gain new skills and engage with nature this Easter!
Additionally, our mini railway will be running at intervals throughout the day. Your ride is included in the price of the ticket.
