We will be hosting a range of kids workshops, including…

BUSHCRAFT
There will a series of Bushcraft workshops in the woodland classroom.
Here you can expect shelter building, fire craft, safe water, cooking over open fires, and survivalist minimalist kits. There are also fairy gardens for kids (and adults!) to explore.
These workshops will be held by our resourceful resident Barry, Andrew and Forest school leader Russ.
HENNA & FACE PAINTING
Express your inner animals and style with fabulous face paints in the crafting space with Clara.
STORY TELLING
We have the wonderful Cath Little coming to share her stories.
Come and hear how she gathered these wonderful old treasures for her book – Glamorgan Folk Tales for Children and pass them on!
“Mesmerising mythic stories from a wonderful Welsh storyteller”
Cardiff Storyteller and Singer Cath Little has “rough magic” in her voice, and in her
words “the gift of the story comes through.”
She has a strong belief in the power of traditional stories to connect us to one another, to the land, and to the people who once lived here. Cath is passionate about sharing the ancient British wonder tales of The Mabinogion.
Cath helps run the Cardiff Storytelling Circle and curate their seasonal concerts,
Tales for the Turning Year. She tells and listens to stories at Oasis, a Cardiff Charity
which offers a warm Welsh welcome to refugees and asylum seekers. Cath keeps busy sharing stories in schools, libraries, museums, castles, cafes and fields. She has performed at clubs and festivals across Britain and Ireland.
