Calling all creative families (or adults): make your very own little squirrel lantern for our WildLights lantern trail! The squirrels with be clambering around our little wood on the trail and after the events, he/ she can come home with you.
Our WildLights Lantern events will take over RSPB Old Moor nature reserve in a beautiful twilight trail of lanterns, lit puppets and wildlife sculptures, crafts and campfires on Saturday 11th October, Saturday 18th October and Saturday 25th October.
You can get involved and make a lantern for the trail, come and see your lantern (your workshop ticket includes 20% off tickets to WildLights for everyone who came to the workshop!) and then collect your lantern to take home.
Our lantern workshops are 2.5 hours long and are suitable for absolute beginners. Your family/ you will receive all the materials you need to make a lantern up to 1m long from willow sticks and tape to make the frame, then tissue paper and PVA to cover the lantern and decorate it to make yours unique to you! The glue is washable but you might not want to wear your best clothes. Instructions and help will be on hand from Old Moor Creative Team.
Tickets are £10 for an RSPB member family or individual or £12 for non-members. One family ticket is to make 1 lantern. Each ticket will be using one table- about 5ft, so we recommend a maximum of 2-3 adults just in terms of space. If you would like to make another lantern, please buy an additional lantern ticket. Adults interested in making a lantern are most welcome too- you don't need to have children with you!
Why not make a day of it? You can explore RSPB Old Moor before or after your workshop, with The Lookout for families and our new Wild Play areas (reserve entry applies for non-members).We'll then keep your lantern(s) safe until WildLights where you can spot them amongst lots of others made by people in your community and Old Moor Creative volunteers. After the events, the lantern is yours to take home: if you come to the last WildLights event (25th October), your lantern can be collected from 8pm or collect it from Old Moor any day before Dec 15th when they will be recycled.
The lantern workshops at Old Moor are just £10 for a family who are RSPB members and £12 for a non-member family. This includes all materials and instruction to make your lantern at a 2.5 hour workshop and 20% off tickets for one of the WildLights events for everyone on the workshop.
There's four workshops with space for 8 families at each session.
