Join us for an early evening adventure to Mitchell's Fold, one of Shropshire's most atmospheric prehistoric sites. Perched high on Stapeley Hill, this Bronze Age stone circle has watched over the landscape for more than 3,000 years, with spectacular views across the Long Mynd and Welsh hills. A perfect setting for creativity, curiosity and a little midsummer magic.  

 

You can choose from two activities, running from 6.15 - 8pm:

 

Guided Art Activity with Sarah Davies

Capture the fabulous scenery around the stone circle, (including some extra fantasy elements) with guidance from art teacher/artist Sarah Davies.

 

Please bring a fold‑out chair, a camera or iphone, and an art board if you have one.

We will have spare boards (A3 heavy duty cardboad) if needed, and will provide heavy duty paper and a view finder frame card for our activity
