A Natural Christmas at Sandwell... come join us!

Christmas is coming... it comes round fast and we have the perfect event to get in the spirit!

Sorry about the odd framing, took a photo of the wreath we made
on a phone and can't crop it... not that technical. 
On Sunday 7 December, 11am -3pm, we have once again planned our fantastic and popular Christmas Fayre event. But this year there is a difference. We have used natural materials to decorate the classroom in a more environmentally friendly way. We have used recycled materials and plant material that can be found in green spaces, so that we may inspire you to help protect nature when you decorate for Christmas.

At the event you can make your own willow wreath to place on your door to welcome your Christmas guests or put in your kitchen to make it festive. We will be using natural material that have been harvested in a way that won’t harm the natural area it came from. There will also be lantern making from recycled jars to brighten up your mantel piece and many other crafts and activities for the whole family to get involved in.

Follow our festive trail around the reserve in search of Father Christmas, before returning to the classroom for a hot cup of chocolate and a mince pie or two. Here you can buy your RSPB Christmas cards where all profits go towards nature conservation and have your face painted like some of the nature you have seen around the reserve or further afield. We ask for a small donation towards the crafts and activities that will go towards the resources.

This will be a wonderfully festive event, a perfect way to get in the spirit and gather ideas for your 2014 Christmas.

Pop along, stick your nose round the corner, say hello and get stuck into our festive activities. Have a chat to our staff and volunteers about how you can create a natural Christmas and get ideas.
We’re so excited for this event and look forward to seeing you there!
