Ever find yourself with down time? The craft section is the place to be! It spans over a collection of marquees placed in a horseshoe formation near the clocktower. There are a total of thirty-three arts and crafts for you to choose from and there is something for everyone.
Wanting to make something lovely and easy? The foam flowers are pretty and simple to make. Lou, from Market Rasen Guides and Scouts, Wild West Fest, says “it is very popular for all age groups.” And if that doesn't prove how effortless it is to do, “even someone with a broken finger did it!” It should also be known that Leaders are welcome and can take inspiration back to their units. It is the place to be “if you want to chill and have some quiet for 10 minutes.”
Jenna from 15th Hillfoots Rangers, a 50/50 volunteer for the craft area, Wonder Fest, is very happy to be volunteering at the craft section. “It's more fun volunteering than I thought,” and is “great for people who don't want to do a big thing but want to do something.”
