Trail in the Trees – Session 3

Join us on a free programme to help make a Trail in the Trees for Hetton Park! Includes a guided walk, followed by two workshops with Green Witch Pottery and Art to make a ceramic plaque to be part of a new woodland trail! Listed as location to be announced, this is because our programme has two different locations and Eventbrite can only display one. Locations are listed below in the programme timetable.

Please keep in mind when booking a ticket on our programme as your ticket is for all 3 sessions. 1 ticket per person. We ask you attend all 3 sessions, as we will create designs for the plaques after the guided walk, then make the plaque and glaze the plaque in sessions 2 and 3. Please contact us if you become unable to attend. Please refer to Programme Timetable for session details and times.

Booking is required to attend. Book via Eventbrite: https://LWNTTHP.eventbrite.co.uk

Trail in the Trees is suitable for those 18+ in the Coalfield area of Sunderland.
