GSY Christmas Crafts

GSY Christmas Crafts is on at Moorlakes Wood in Fairfair Common, Swansea, on Saturday 28 November, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. It's a family session run by Gower Society Youth (GSY) inside the roundhouse, and the whole point is to make Christmas decorations from things you find in the woods. You'll be working with natural materials to put together wood-cookie tree ornaments, twig decorations, willow stars, wreaths and garlands — the kind of things you can actually hang up and keep.

It's part of Nature Days, which runs free monthly activities for 4-16 year olds around the Gower. Each month is at a different spot, and the sessions range from river dipping and butterfly hunts to woodland adventures and pirate days. There's also Gower Adventurers, an older section for over-11s where children are paired with a leader to hone their skills as explorers and discerning users of the countryside. A members-only Gower Society Youth Facebook page carries photos of the activities, so you can get a sense of what the other sessions look like.

On the day, there'll be mulled wine and punch on hand, though you're asked to bring your own cup. It's suitable for families, and the session is free for a family ticket, funded by the Gower Society. It runs from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the roundhouse in Moorlakes Wood, Fairfair Common.
