Re: Enchanted Woodland events
Over 500 people turned up to the Enchanted Woodland event at Arden Hall on Thursday 7th July.
This magical event transformed Arden Hall Park into an enchanted woodland for the evening – it was the culmination of three weeks of artistic activity focused around Arden Hall with four local schools involved and local people participating. During the weeks leading up to the event, local schoolchildren from four schools and community groups worked with artists to create new stories about the woodlands, the hills and their inhabitants, working from local folk tales and stories of the people, animals and plants of Lancashire. They designed and created a new world of animals, plants and people, represented as anything from 20cm-tall twig-puppets to human-sized legendary white deer, and including magical moths and clouds of bats and swallows. The new stories and ‘characters’ then combined in a free public performance, including music, dance and drama, which was staged in the Park at 6pm on 7 July. There were also two public workshops leading up to the event which members of the local community attended. There they made their own colourful flags of woodland life or create an animal for the spectacular ‘enchantment banners’. The event is one of many taking place this summer as part of Mid Pennine Arts' Land programme, which encourages people of all ages to take part in creative activity led by professional artists and, in so doing, make a positive difference to their surroundings. |

Re: Enchanted Woodland events
They didn’t do any fairies then……..sorry, somewhat naughty of me I know. I’m pleased it all went so well for you Gayle. At the end of the day, like it or not, getting kids together and involved in their communities is what is lacking in this country. Maybe involvement in these projects might encourage them to act with a little more respect. At leased you are doing your bit.
