About the event
Join us for an Open Day celebrating care and repair. Care of people and things. Care for our shared buildings and green spaces, through a day of free creative activities for all ages, taking place throughout Platt Hall and its gardens.
Give cardboard and boxes a new life in a free drop-in family workshop with artist Loren Hardy. Suitable for all ages, including children aged 0-5.
Poetry Trail : find words, collection objects around the Hall and garden and have a go at writing your own poem.
Bring along a broken or damaged household item including textiles or small electrical items, and work with a repairer from the Boiler House Repair Cafe team to see if we can give it a new lease of life.
Find out more about plans to transform three first floor spaces into a new Textile Study Room.
