Halloween Crafts: Spooky Origami!
Admission Free | Booking Required
Get creative this Halloween with a frightfully fun arts and crafts session led by artist Lindsay McConnell!
Using just paper, scissors, glue and a little clever folding, participants will create their own fang-tastic Halloween decorations to take home. Choose between making a scary skull or a petrifying pumpkin - complete with a moving mouth that opens and closes.
Perfect for families, this hands-on workshop is a great way to unleash your creativity and celebrate the Halloween season.
There are three sessions available to book, with each workshop lasting approximately 45 minutes.
Please note: All materials are provided. Children must be accompanied by an adult and supervised throughout the activity.
