THERE’S fun for all the family at scarecrow-making sessions at Redditch’s Forge Mill Needle Museum next week, ahead of a Bank Holiday weekend extravaganza.
All are welcome to special scarecrow character crafting sessions at the museum, this coming Wednesday and Thursday, August 22-23 from 11am to 3pm.
Just bring some old clothes along and you can buy the other materials to make your character for just £3.
Could yours be one of the best three scarecrows in Redditch this year, as judged by the Mayor of Redditch Councillor Juliet Brunner, and win £75, £50 or £25 of Kingfisher Shopping Centre vouchers?
Then Scarecrow Day itself follows on Bank Holiday Sunday, August 26 from 11am to 4pm, featuring a last chance to make scarecrows alongside children’s activities, pony rides and craft stalls.
Plus there will be live music from The Fidgets, a music workshop, and more.
Admission to Scarecrow Day includes entry to the museum’s featured Lego exhibition, ‘Brick Built’ and is just £1 for children, £2 adults.
Councillor Mike Rouse, Redditch Borough Council’s portfolio holder for leisure and tourism, said: “My five year old has been mad about Minecraft lately and is really looking forward to making one of the characters from the game.”
Forge Mill Needle Museum & Bordesley Abbey Visitor Centre is on Needle Mill Lane, Redditch B98 8HY.
