Cecil's Craft Workshops

Get creative this summer with hands-on family fun

Join our friendly Education Team for some creative summer crafts, perfect for curious kids who love to make, build and get a little bit messy! Each workshop offers a fun, guided activity with your creation to take home at the end.

Cecil’s Clay Creations 

What might Cecil find beneath the soil? Take inspiration from patterns, textures and garden shapes to create your own clay tile — muddy hands encouraged!

Cecil’s Dragonfly Designers

Dragonflies are some of Cecil’s favourite garden visitors! Use wire, colour and tools to sculpt your own dragonfly design and take home a shimmering summer creature of your own. Recommended for ages 7+ years.

Cecil’s Slime Lab

Roll up your sleeves and help Cecil test out some colourful, stretchy, squelchy slime! Mix your own batch using your favourite colours and textures - then take it home to play with again.
