Wombling Weekend at Seven Stories
Christmas is over and with lots of festive waste to dispose who should we call? Why, Elisabeth Beresford’s heroes of recycling of course!
Meet the Wombles who strive to “make good use of bad rubbish”, bring your own waste wrapping paper and Christmas cards along and recycle your waste into beautiful works of art.
With a unique opportunity to see original manuscripts and illustrations from Elisabeth Beresford’s Womble series of children’s books, straight from the Seven Stories archive. A fun-filled day of wombling stories, song and crafts.
