Into the Canopies creative kits at Dyffryn Gardens
Free-to-borrow creative kits to help visitors of all ages engage with nature through creativity.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
The Dyffryn Gardens creative kits are designed to help you use creativity to immerse yourself in the season.
The kits are free to hire from our Welcome Centre, simply ask our friendly Welcome Team when you arrive. Inside, you'll find a range of things to use as you move through the gardens, including a sketchbook, pencils, ink pens, watercolours, brushes, and watercolour brushes.
For Into the Canopies we've also included an autumn postcard on watercolour paper for you to create your own autumnal colour palette. By closely observing the nature around you, colour match the scenery before you to the one on your postcard, collecting the colours of autumn to take them home with you.
