Drop-In Events

Heritage Photo Treasure Trail with Cynthia Jackson, Artist and Tony Walsh, Photographer
Start your trail at the Shakespeare Barn where you will be given a set of instructions of where to go on the trail. You will need a camera or mobile phone to take photos at some of the Heritage Open Day sites. Once completed, return to the Shakespeare Barn and select your favourite image to add to the Heritage Day Banner – see below.

Heritage Banner – PVA Photo Printing with Esther Boehm, Sculptor
Bring along a photo or selfie, on your camera or phone, taken at one of the Heritage Open Day Sites. We will then print the image and you can then help create a cultural collage by using PVA glue to superimpose your picture on to a Heritage Day Banner.
