Spring sunshine is nature’s alarm clock, telling wildlife to wake up after winter. You can see, hear, and smell the signs of newness as the season arrives with a rush of energy. The session will include garden weaving, vegetable sewing and flower collage.

Jak will be reading Sean Taylor & Alex Morss’ story ‘Busy Spring: Nature Wakes Up’. This beautifully illustrated book offers an engaging introduction to spring, perfect for young nature enthusiasts.

It’s National Storytelling Week!

Here we have a Punch and Judy Show on Sennen Beach in 1980. Mum waits with sandwiches while the fascinated youngsters are enchanted by Dan Bishop's show, a classic that entertained generations.
