Celebrate summer with activities in St Clears
You can turn your hand to anything at Carmarthenshire Centre for Crafts by Celebrating Summer in St Clears.
There is a packed programme of activities to keep busy youngsters active and occupied and parents can join in the fun too.
All ages can be involved in a colourful and eventful “celebrating summer” programme of activities at the St Clear’s Craft Centre ranging from making delicious cup cakes to blowing your own saxaphonic creation at a junk workshop or reining in your own made hobby horse.
There are opportunities for children to get engaged in creative writing sessions, collage making, painting, pottery, making corn dollies, making art journals, hobby horses pop up puppets, Chinese dragons or even for parents to capture their child’s finger print in fine silver.
To add to the flavour Food & Craft Markets are being launched in the town on July 30. The Centre is working in partnership with St Clears Town Council providing these markets to support local producers and help consumers reduce their carbon footprint.
Booking is not essential and anyone is welcome to drop in on the day, but the workshops are always very popular so pre-booking is advisable to avoid disappointment.
For bookings or further details, please call the Centre on (01994) 232726
