Step into the magical world of Welsh legends and discover the story of Blodeuwedd, the maiden created from flowers who turned into an owl. After learning a little about the legend of Blodeuwedd, children and their parent or carer will create a Blodeuwedd-inspired owl, bringing it to life through colour, imagination, and creativity.
The hope is that no two owls will be exactly alike, making this a wonderful opportunity to spend time together while discovering one of Wales's most enchanting legends.
