Fantastic Mask Making
Together we will transform into magical beings of the woods.
- Booking essential
- Free event (admission applies)
In preparation for the parade, we’ll be running a mask and totem making workshop in the Fishermans Shelter next to the Shell House. You’ll be introduced to traditions of carnival, drag and folklore costumery, and to the basic principles of willow weaving, as together we’ll transform into magical beings of the woods.
Sign-up is essential as places are limited. We’ll provide all the materials you need, or feel free to bring your own favourites. Fabrics, masks, garlands, face paint etc are all welcome, but no organic matter is permitted as we’re in a protected woodland (no leaves, flowers etc).
