Thomas reviewed: October half term willow lantern making workshop (morning sessions)

"We all really enjoyed making lanterns, we felt we had plenty of time to make them in, they were quite big and looked really good lit up at night, the lady running it was very kind and helpful, you definitely need 1 adult to 1 child regardless of age to make these as there would of been no way I could of helped 2 children complete there lanterns. All that said it was a really enjoyable family craft session."
