Are you aged 11–19?
Are you home educated?
Do you love spending time in nature?
Would you like to learn the art of willow weaving?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be interested in an exciting opportunity with Bright Lights Youth Arts Festival.

Thanks to funding from Sunderland Culture, we are offering 6 home-educated young people the chance to take part in a hands-on, nature-based creative session.

🌱 What’s happening? 🌱

On Thursday 26th February, from 10:00am–12:30pm, we’ll be working with Ruth from Sylvan Skills to build a willow dome in Mowbray Park Community Garden.

This is a wonderful opportunity for older home-educated young people to enjoy independent, outdoor learning, develop practical skills, and contribute something lasting to a much-loved community space.

🌱 Places 🌱

This is a small group session with only 6 places available. These will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

To book your space, please contact Jennie Morris at [email protected] with the following information;
Name/Age/Parent or Guardian Contact details.
The first 6 emails we receive will have a registration form emailed out to them.
*Note: please do not request information via messenger as we do not recieve notifications and this could result in you missing out on a space. 🌻

🌱 What you need to know 🌱

Please arrive promptly at 10:00am.

The session will finish at 12:30pm all young people must be collected at this time

🌱 What to bring 🌱

☔️Dress for the ever-changing Northeast weather!

👞Clothes and footwear should be suitable for mud and digging

💧A water bottle (we can provide refills)

👷‍♀️ This will be an active, hands-on session — expect a bit of hard work, heaps of fun and lots of fresh air.

See you in the Garden!
