If you're in Swansea anytime between now and 31st October, go to Swansea Minster to see Luke Jerram 's . Take time to think about the fragility of our Earth, and how we should be protecting it, enjoying it, and living together in peace on it.

We had a great Fun Palaces event in our shop. is a wonderful concept which promotes "culture at the heart of community and community at the heart of culture"... So it fits perfectly with our creative Shop Of Sanctuary! Led by volunteers and other friends of the shop, our Fun Palace included origami, crochet, silver foil model making, craftivism, learning about the colour of butterflies and the history of Swansea's houses, and playing a brand new hand-made strategy game and Readers Digest Book Jenga! And eating lots of dates, bananas and biscuits!
