Wokingham

Visitors to this year’s Wokingham May Fayre will be able get in touch with their creative side in the Hands-on-Arts pavilion, sponsored by The Cultural Partnership.

The pavilion will be packed with opportunities for families to try out arts and crafts with the help of local professional artists and volunteers. Among the arts on offer will be textile jewellery-making, weaving, printmaking, felt-making, puppet-making and henna painting.

Gwynneth Hewetson, chair of The Wokingham Cultural Partnership, said: “The Hand-on Arts Pavilion is incredibly popular with families and provides a great opportunity for people to try different arts and crafts with the help of professionals.

“The Cultural Partnership is working with the borough council to encourage more people to get involved with the arts – whether by taking part in events or watching performances and the Hand-on-Arts Pavilion is a great place to try out something new – and who knows you may enjoy it so much you want to do more.

“The Cultural Partnership is a volunteer group that champions more arts and culture activities to benefit local communities and residents. Being creative and active is at the heart of what makes Wokingham a great place to live.”

The Wokingham May Fayre is organised by the Wokingham Lions and will be held in Wokingham Town Centre on Bank Holiday Monday May 4.
