Join our teenage squad of makers and help create costumes for the Pig Walk Parade in Longton.

Art you aged 13-18. Would you like to be part of the Pig Walk Parade and help design amazing parade costumes?

This year the parade is celebrating the National Year of Reading. The Teen Squad section will be inspired by The Odyssey.

Together we’ll create costumes and puppets based on characters, creatures and adventures from the story for the parade. There might be a Trojan horse involved.

Workshops and parade participation are completely FREE.

Please sign up via Eventbrite
