We are running free, drop in family workshops every Wednesday 1.30pm – 3.30pm during the summer, starting from Wednesday 30 July. All of our activities will be around the theme of seaweed, and these creative activities have been inspired by Victorian seaweed pressings in the Living Archive at the Gardeners’ House.
