Family craft workshop — Franciscan weekend | St. Laurence
Occurring
for 4 hours
Venue
St Laurence
Address
High Street
Winslow
BUCKINGHAM, MK18 3AB, United Kingdom
Celebration of the 800th Anniversary of St Francis 9th-13th September 2026
Come and repurpose household waste to make a bug hotel or animal sculpture over burgers and hotdogs and learn all about the Winslow Womblers.
For this event we need empty plastic bottles 500ml or 1 litre, we need any clean waste plastic tubing up to 2cm in diameter, such as old garden hose, hula hoops or straws. Old bamboo canes would also be good if they’re cut down into 15-20cm lengths. We’d also like clean, dry, paper pamphlets/booklets such as the Buckingham ‘Focus’ or the Winslow Parish Magazine or others of a similar size & thickness (A5 or smaller with at least 50 pages).
There will be big collection buckets with full details of the kind of things we need in St. Laurence & St. James churches.
Thanks very much. Any donations would be hugely appreciated.
