Autumn fest
Tuesday 29 Oct 1.30 - 3.45pm (may run a little over time)
A gentle afternoon autumn crafty session. We will amble through the autumn woods, collecting chestnuts to roast for the top of our chestnut cakes; collect acorn cups to make tiny mushrooms for an autumn sculpture, investigating the fungi we find along the way; we will also use the acorn cups to make mini candles. We will finish making some pumpkin soup from the farm squashes, warmed on the fire. It's mostly for the children, but I'll bring willow weaving things if the grown-ups would like to play!
£14 per child aged 6-15, adult free or small donation for willow weaving.

Jack in the Green

In the folds of his velvet gown." Jethro Tull
