“The whole family can learn how to make a pinecone Christmas tree, ornaments, cards and gift bags.”

All materials are supplied.

The one-hour workshop is suitable for young and old alike, including children aged five and over.

Booking is essential.

Christmas Storytimes have also been scheduled for Myall Coast libraries in coming weeks.

“Storytime at your library will be extra special for Christmas. It will be more like a party, with music, dance, refreshments and a visit from Santa,” added Mr Mills.

Storytime is for pre-school children.

There is no need to book, but please confirm times with the library before attending.

Christmas Storytimes are scheduled for Stroud on Friday 16 December at 10:30am and Tea Gardens on Monday 5 December at 9:30am.

In Gloucester, bring the whole family along for a free screening of Polar Express on Thursday 22 December at 10am.

Go on a magical adventure to the North Pole, as you learn about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.
