Castle Quarter is proud to be part of this year’s GoGoSafari sculpture trail, in aid of the charity Break.
Before the big five sculptures are let loose on our streets in June, Castle Quarter is planning a safari themed craft workshop on Thursday 10th April.
In collaboration with Break, children can take part in this free creative event, where they will design safari themed bunting which could go on display in the centre this summer.
Gemma Hyde from Castle Quarter says, “We’re going big and bold with our celebrations for the GoGoSafari trail this summer and have plans to decorate the centre with bright, colourful, and jungle-themed bunting. But we need some help from young creatives. Our very own Rhino, named I Spy, will be moving in soon, and we want them to feel right at home.
“At our craft workshop, children will design their own jungle themed bunting. You can be as colourful as your dare and create a bold design featuring all the animals from the trail – lions, giraffes, gorillas, rhinos and elephants – or let your imagination run wild with bright ideas.”
After the event, Castle Quarter will post all the bunting designs on to their Facebook page and ask people to vote for their favourite. The creators of the top five most voted for designs will each receive a £50 voucher to spend in Castle Quarter and their artwork will be transformed into real bunting, ready to decorate the centre this summer.
Can’t get there in person? You can still take part by downloading a competition sheet from the Castle Quarter website.
