Bizarre Bookmarks & Magical Mini Books


  • The Museum in the Park Stratford Park, Stratford Road Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, GL5 4AF United Kingdom (map)

As part of Stroud Book Festival, we’re delighted to invite book-loving families to get creative with drop in craft activities led by a wonderful Stroud artist! Come and join the talented illustrator Martha Lightfoot and make your very own bookmark or mini book to take home. We’ll be taking inspiration from the magical creatures and weird and wonderful folk legends in the exhibition by Hannah Dyson and Jim Pilston. Sharpen your pencils, let your imagination run wild, and enjoy creating something fantastical and fun!

This special artist-led workshop is for families with children aged 4 to 14, for grown ups and children to enjoy together. Parents with younger children are invited to explore the Museum with the Elmer the Elephant ‘I Spy’ trail.

Cost: £1 per child, drop in and pay on the day (extra donations very welcome to help pay for materials)

Dates & times: Saturday 9 & Sunday 10 November, 2pm to 4.30pm (drop in)
