Spring Workshop day
Over 100 visitors joined us from local communities and beyond on 10 April to take part in a variety of hands on heritage workshops and enjoy a delicious home cooked lunch. The weather was perfectly Spring-like to match the event. We also met the Head of Youth Services from The Baytree Centre in Brixton, who came to find out more about us. Hopefully the start of a productive link with this urban project which works with young women and girls 'changing aspirations into realities'.
Here is some of the feedback from participants:
‘inspiring, educational, entertaining’
‘well considered activities’
‘amazing food’
‘we’ll be back for the next workshop’
