Sock Monster Workshop

About This Event

Do you have a stash of lonely, lost, odd socks? Come and learn how to repurpose them to make a sock monster with character.

If you don't have your own socks to bring along, don't worry, there will be plenty for you to choose from.

This workshop uses basic handsewing techniques so has a minimum age requirement of 10 years. We ask that all children are accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop, the accompanying adult does not have to be taking part in the workshop if they do not wish to do so. Please note that only people who have paid for tickets will be able to participate with the activity.
