Arts and Crafts – Peg Planes: Saturday 25 May, 1pm-2pm

Join us in our Eden Camp Arts & Crafts workshop and create your very own Peg Plane to take home!

Make your own peg plane from scratch and decorate it to your hearts content. Once the paint is dry, your peg plane is ready to fly (or display)! You can hold onto the wooden peg and fly it around like an airplane, or you can even turn it into a fridge magnet! Its fun for all the family and a great way to get creative and have fun with woodworking whilst learning all about Eden Camp!

Slime Workshop: Wednesday 29 May, 1pm-2pm

Get hands on and make your very own soldier slime here at Eden Camp this May half term.

WW1 Cooking: Thursday 30 May, 1pm-2pm

Join in the cooking fun and make your own tack biscuits!

Soldiers from WW1 relied on tack biscuits during trench warfare as they lasted a long time without going off but that didn’t mean they were nice to eat!

See what you think, maybe some Bovril will help?
