Step out of the sun and into the cool of Great St Mary’s church, for a variety of craft activities on an environmental theme. Maybe you’d like to make a butterfly or other bug? Or you could try your hand at designing an ‘eco’ building (a church, school, supermarket – or choose a building of your own!). There will be a wide range of high quality art supplies available to minimise our use of environmentally-unfriendly materials, such as plastic (there is no glitter here!), so you can use your imagination to create freely.
