Event information

Creating nature-based images in felt
Come along to this wet felting session and learn how to create a simple image of either a beautiful tree, your favourite flowers or perhaps a butterfly or a bee.
Textile Artist, Jacqui Smithson will be following the Kenilworth Festival theme of nature and will be showing you how to create a simple image in felt using pre dyed merino wool and other textured threads and fibres.
She will have lots of images to share with you so if you don’t know what you would like to make, she can help you choose.
This session is suitable for Secondary school aged children. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
All materials will be provided but please bring a medium sized towel and a squeezy bottle of warm soapy water.

This is an outdoor event and while we hope that September brings with it warm summer evenings, there is a chance it may rain, so please be aware that this event is not under cover, so dress accordingly. In the event of extreme bad weather, we will arrange contingency plans which will be indoors.

Our onsite Covid safety measures
Whilst we recognise that there is now no limit to large events and no legal bases of previous mitigation measures, we are also mindful of public anxiety and our obligation to prevent transmission of the virus. Therefore, we will be taking several measures on site to help us do that.
We ask all attenders and performers to be mindful not just of themselves but also of others and to attend with care for all in mind.
We will encourage through announcements and signage for attenders and artists to socially distance in common areas. Please observe directions given by stewards in relation to this on site.
Hand sanitisers will be positioned across the site for people to use.
People are advised to wear face coverings queuing for food or drink and when accessing the site.
We have a reduced capacity onsite which will allow more space for people to only remain in the household bubbles if they wish.
Attenders and artists should check for symptoms of COVID-19 (a high temperature, new and persistent cough, or a loss of/change in sense of taste or smell) before travelling to the event. If anyone you live with have one or more of these symptoms (even if they are mild) they should not attend and should follow the guidance on testing and self-isolation.
Volunteers and Crew are expected to undertake a lateral flow test prior to the event to ensure we are safeguarding the public and reducing risk of transmission.
Thank you for your co-operation and we hope you enjoy the event.
