Blossom tree craft
Create your own blossom tree this May bank holiday weekend.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Join us for a free craft over May bank holiday weekend, from 11am - 3pm.
Head to Swanley Grange to create a blossom tree. Sketch out your own tree shape and scrunch up the tissue paper to create the blossom petals and leaves.
Will your tree be tall and thin with lots of branches and new leaves like apple trees outside Swanley Grange? Or will you create a big, old, twisted tree with white blossom like the old cherry tree in Studley Royal deer park.
We'll provide the instructions and materials for this drop-in session all you have to do is turn up.
