Drop in on 31 October from 10 AM to 3:30 PM and help create a collaborative Colchester Mermaid, inspired by the Fiji mermaid in our Mythical Creatures exhibition! Using clean, recycled materials like cardboard, paper, plastic and textiles, visitors can contribute to the sculpture and even help shape our mermaid's mythical story. Bring your own safe materials or use what's provided – everyone's welcome to add their creative touch!
