Woollen Woods in Hare Hill Park

Date published: 07 April 2016


Littleborough Arts Festival is organising 'Woollen Woods' - decorated trees and individual displays throughout Hare Hill Park - as part of Voluntary Arts Week.

Liz White said: ”Woollen Woods gives everyone a chance to take part in creating a beautiful piece of art.

"Children can make rabbits out of bobbles, experienced knitters can let their imagination rip. As long as they use wool and feature something that would be found in the woodland.”

“We are hoping for 100 hedgehogs, mice, birds, and flowers, etc to create an artwork for Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 May.

"You could see a knitted owl perching in a tree, some crocheted mice or a felted flower.”

Groups/organisations can decorate a tree or have an individual display.

Individuals can make hedgehogs, mice, birds, and flowers, etc.

There are no rules just make something lovely you would find in a woodland out of wool and leave it at Littleborough Library or contact Liz White:

Exhibits cannot be returned but if suitable will be donated to Springhill Hospice Shop after the event.
