Make fantastical cardboard bird hats and puppets with Blackburn Festival of Light!
Drop-in any time at the Bureau and join the carnival artists creating puppets, then, weather permitting, take part in a short informal parade to showcase your creation.
Presented by The Bureau Centre for the Arts, supported by the Creative Alliance and funded through the Place Partnership.
