Fancy yourself a bit of a Patrick Swayze? Trylla on North Street have take-away clay kits where you can create whatever you want. It could be a vase, trinket dish, or if that fails – a doorstop.

If you’re in the mood for some last-minute crafts, why not get down to Wilkos on West Street and pick up everything you could possibly need for an afternoon of crafting? They sell wool, beads, fabric dyes, pom poms, glitter glue… you name it, they’ve got it!
Why not grab some wool and have a go at some crotchet or macrame? The possibilities are endless!
