Heritage Workshops 2021

Following the capital renovation and national lockdowns, South Square reopened with a programme of free activities to invite visitors back to the centre, and enable people to slowly build confidence in coming back to public spaces. 

Our heritage workshops programme took place in the garden and courtyard spaces where possible. Participant numbers were kept low in order to maintain social distancing, and workshops were repeated throughout the day. 

Workshops on a variety of topics appealing to a broad age range included; Woven Landscapes, Camera Phone Photography – capturing the heritage building, Stained Glass Viaduct Workshop, Embroidered Photographs from our archive, Lino Printing, Mindfulness, and Make Your Own Ugly Mug. 

The workshop was a real confidence boost as its the first time we worked with glass, the grinder and soldering rod. I would love to come to more.

I was surprised at how much my child was able to slow down, concentrate and watch. I'll continue this activity with my child.

This is the first time I have been out since covid started and being housebound and wheelchair bound it has been really enjoyable and therapeutic. It was great to speak to others and work together too.
