FAMILIES are being encouraged to get creative at free workshops held across Whitley in the coming weeks.
Organised in tandem with this summer’s inaugural Whitley Carnival, seven sessions will take place at three venues to help people make costumes and props, which will be showcased in the event’s parades.
Hexham Road Community Centre will host after-school costume-making workshops from 3.30pm-6pm on May 23 and June 6, as well as half term ‘Make a Giant’ sessions from 10am-3pm on June 1 and 2.
Further costume making workshops will take place from 3.30pm-6pm on May 24 and June 7, at Whitley Wood Community Centre, as well as at South Reading Leisure Centre from 11am-4pm on June 4.
Events are also being run at all schools in Whitley.
Partners who are involved in the provision of workshops include: Annual Daydream Harvest, Berzerk Productions, CultureMix Arts, Jelly, Limpopo Groove, Make/Sense Theatre, MERL, Readipop, Reading Rep, RISC and Rock Academy.
Those interested in getting involved should book their spots online.
