Wokingham

Young and old flocked to the Hands-on-Arts Pavilion at the Wokingham May Fayre on Bank Holiday Monday May 5.

The Wokingham Hands-on-Arts Pavilion is run by Discover Culture, a summer long season of arts and culture organised by The Cultural Partnership, and this year sponsored by Ready Steady Store. The pavilion offers people of all ages the chance to enjoy creative arts workshops and family-friendly demonstrations with local artists. Among the opportunities on offer was the chance to learn traditional weaving, puppet making and performance and print making – all free of charge.

It proved extremely popular at the Wokingham May Fayre, where hundreds of people joined in the craft workshops and watched the demonstrations.

Wokingham Borough Council executive member for community development Dianne King, who visited the pavilion during the fayre, said: “It was lovely to see so many people enjoying the pavilion and it made a tremendous addition to the day.”

The Hands-on-Arts pavilion will also be at the Crowthorne Carnival in Morgan Recreation Ground on Saturday July 5; Earley Fun Day, organised by Woodley and Earley Lions Club, in Events Field Kilnsea Drive in Lower Earley on Saturday July 12 and Spencers Wood Carnival in Clares Green Road on Saturday September 13.
