Help build a fabulous walk-through experience for one of Bradford District’s iconic mills.

Grue, a fabulous walk-through experience for all the family, is coming to Damart Mill in Bingley in February 2025 – and we need your help to build this enchanted world!

Join us at Kirkgate Community Centre in Shipley to have fun turning recycled cardboard and materials into something magical. The session will be led by experienced artists and facilitators, and everyone’s welcome – no experience needed, only a willingness to try something new.

This is a drop-in session – turn up and stay for as long as you like. The event is free and we’ll provide all materials. Under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

There’s also a Grue family craft workshop at Bingley Arts Centre on Saturday 18 January, free to all – details here.
