Craft days for all ages return to the Beach Buddies Visitor Centre at Niarbyl next week.
A series of events will be held where everyone goes home with an item made from materials such as shells, sea glass and driftwood.
Booking is essential as the maximum number taking part in any one session is limited to eight, so that each person can receive individual attention.
It’s not just for children, adults can make something special too, and perhaps a creation which may be a bit more challenging.
Sessions will be held on the following days:
Monday, April 4: 10am to midday and 1pm to 3pm.
Tuesday, April 5: 10am to midday and 1pm to 3pm.
Thursday, April 7: 10am to midday and 1pm to 3pm.
Saturday, April 9: 10am to midday and 1pm to 3pm.
Extra days amay be added, depending on demand.

Meanwhile, Beach Buddies will be returning to Ballaugh beach this weekend with a volunteer team session on Sunday morning, from 10.30am.
A session was held there some weeks ago, but another large amount of rubbish has gathered in recent times, meaning another session is required to one of the island’s most beautiful stretches of coastline.
All equipment is provided by Beach Buddies, including gloves, litterpickers and bin bags and items collected are removed afterwards by the charity, recycling around 60 per cent of all rubbish, such as tin cans, plastic, metal and glass.
All ages are welcome, and particularly families - even if you’ve not taken part before.
Organisers Bill Dale says it’s informal, relaxed and good fun and you meet lots of like-minded people. Well behaved dogs are also very welcome.
