IT'S BACK!! Come and join our lovely Mexican Educator Mariana for a fabulous afternoon learning some traditional Mexican crafts to celebrate the "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead).
Dia de los Muertos is a joyful holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1st or 2nd and involves people gathering to pay respects to remember family & friends that have died. Celebrations are often humorous with people sharing funny stories about the departed.

I decided to try the Halloween family workshop after attending the Xmas one last year. My daughter and I had so much fun and came home with some amazing creations. Would definitely recommend 😀
This was such a fun workshop. We had a great time AND learned a lot about the tradition and ceremony of this celebration. We will be booking again.
