Event Description

At this free family drop-in coinciding with the May Charter Fair, children will draw and learn about the amazing animals of Nonsuch Park. Then they'll craft and decorate animal bookmarks to take home! This much-loved Tudor park hosts important species of birds and minibeasts, and historically it has been home to deer, sheep and many more.

Family participation is encouraged and parents/guardians are asked to stay with their children while they draw and craft. Local arts educator Mark Pembrey will be present throughout the session to help and chat about the animals.
