Bugs, beetles & butterflies workshop with Adur River Recovery

Calling young eco-warriors, nature-nurturers and creative kids! Join me at Chapter34 bookshop to make your own bug, beetle or butterfly from trash collected on Sussex beach cleans and learn all about our awesome Adur river.

This is a family-friendly joint workshop with Knepp Wildland Foundation and the Adur River Recovery Project.

We will learn about some of the amazing creatures found along our river and what we can do to help them. Then we'll get creative, making dragonflies, beetles, butterflies or your favourite bug from discarded fishing gear and materials found on Sussex beach cleans. A double whammy; you'll be supporting the Adur Recovery Project and keeping plastic out of the ocean!

No experience needed and all equipment and materials are provided, including a canvas board for your masterpiece. Please feel free to bring your own clean and dry fishing gear, beach finds, materials or treasures that you would like to incorporate into your design.

Tickets: £8, price includes the talk and bird making workshop.

Your confirmation email is your ticket and your name will be added to the list on the door. Parents/carers are very welcome to explore the bookshop & cafe while children are getting creative in the event space upstairs (I am insured and DBS checked) but will need to stay in the building throughout the event.

Can't wait? You can visit the Adur River Recovery website and find out what they're up to here.
