Roll up, roll up – summer of fun lies ahead at Ushaw
Our series of workshops starts on July 30 with free admission to a stained-glass window workshop run by artist Rebecca Rose.
The programme continues through to August 23 with an engineering workshop run by the North East Meccano Society.
The fun-packed insight into life in the Big Top comes to Ushaw on August 6 with the “Circurama” circus skills and performance workshops.
Some of the workshops have been organised in partnership with Age UK to ensure the programme is inter-generational.
