Make a Lapwing with Sarah Wise from the Fairyland Trust

Inspire a love of nature with this art nature workshop! Lapwings are beautiful birds that love farmland and wet areas. In fact, over winter, as many as 15 thousand feed and roost on the Holkham National Nature Reserve! On this workshop your child will learn about this elegant bird and will make their very own lapwing to take home with them under the guidance of Sarah Wise from the Fairyland Trust. The workshop is for children aged 3 and up, and each bird will be made using sustainable materials. An adult must accompany their child during this 45 minute art workshop.

MORE ABOUT THIS LOCATION

Holkham Hall

Holkham Hall, a magnificent example of Palladian architecture, is situated on the north Norfolk coast. Built in the mid-18th century for Thomas Coke, the 1st Earl of Leicester, the hall was designed to reflect the ideals of the Italian Renaissance and the Enlightenment. The estate has been home to the Coke family ever since and remains one of England’s grandest country houses.

The vision for Holkham Hall was inspired by Thomas Coke’s Grand Tour of Europe, during which he was profoundly influenced by the classical architecture of Italy. The hall, with its symmetrical façade and grand marble hall, epitomizes the elegance and balance of Palladian design.

Surrounding the hall are expansive parklands, designed by William Kent, which include a lake, deer park, and a variety of formal gardens. Holkham Hall is also known for its agricultural innovation, with the estate playing a crucial role in the advancement of farming techniques in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Today, Holkham Hall is a vibrant cultural hub, hosting concerts, exhibitions, and community events, while remaining a working estate dedicated to conservation and sustainable farming.
