About this event

  • Hosted by Horsforth Climate Action in collaboration with Hoc Loco, these workshops will use natural materials and provide the opportunity to learn traditional techniques.
  • Willow structures created at the workshops will be colourfully decorated at a later date by young people, to be worn as part of a visual parade at the Green Festival.
  • A professional artist with experience of willow weaving will lead the workshops and be supported by volunteers. Subject to weather conditions, the workshops may take place outdoors.
  • Hoc Loco is an independent bar and bottle shop in a sunny corner unit serving Italian-style small plates alongside craft beer, natural wines and artisan ciders. Excellent no and low alcohol options are available. Drinks are not included with the ticket.
  • All materials will be provided. The event is Pay As You Feel with a recommended donation of £5 towards artist costs and materials that will support the sustainability of the Green Festival.
