Help Ali and Vicki from The La’al Collective bring their Giant puppet to life. The Riddling Giant puppet will be appearing at the Multicultural Parade and Jubilee Picnic in Bitts Park on Sunday 5th June, but he needs new clothes fit for a Queen! Come and help make him look the part using beautiful material to rip and tie.

Join Michelle Russell – published author and illustrator of ‘The Show Must Go On’ and founder of The Activity Bus – for a drop-in workshop for all ages, ‘Making Memories’ by creating personal stories, learning how to ‘doodle’ or illustrate; also making medals and treasures to mark special moments and celebrations in their stories; to take away in a special souvenir jubilee trinket box.

Followed by a special story-telling with Michelle, inspired by the workshops.

This inspiring event is jam packed with delicious speakers and tasty topics to help us expand our minds and build solidarity. By exploring, celebrating and honouring issues affecting different women, we hope this event will encourage us all to live in a more radically inclusive way. 

This one day event is for anyone interested in exploring the issues faced when negotiating the intricacies of womanhood. Everyone welcome aged 16+
