Get ready for a fun‑filled, hands‑on creative adventure at our Green and Crafts event on Sunday 12th April 2026 from 10am to 3pm, right in the heart of Buckingham town centre at the historic Cattle Pens.
This vibrant community event is all about imagination, sustainability, and the joy of making things together. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter, a curious beginner, or simply looking for a cheerful day out, you’ll find plenty to spark your creativity. Best of all every activity is completely free and perfect for families and friends of all ages.
Come along and dive into a wonderfully varied selection of nature‑inspired and eco‑friendly crafts. Throughout the day, you can:
- Roll up your sleeves and mould your own clay seed ball, then decorate it with natural materials before taking it home to plant.
- Pick up a relaxing new hobby and learn to crochet, guided by friendly helpers who’ll show you the basics stitch by stitch.
- Knit a beautiful flower brooch using a charming French bobbin, perfect to pin on your jacket or gift to someone special.
- Craft a woodland‑inspired twig dreamcatcher, weaving together natural finds to create a unique piece of rustic art.
- Transform an ordinary egg box into a quirky portrait using paints, textures, and plenty of imagination.
- Paint a glowing jam jar lantern ready to brighten up your windowsill or garden.
- Create your very own mixed‑media artwork, experimenting with an assortment of recycled and natural materials.
Whether you love learning new skills or are just looking for a great day out, this event has something for everyone. Come along, get inspired, and head home with a bundle of your own handmade masterpieces.
Join us for a day bursting with creativity, colour, and crafty joy!
Cllr. Robin Stuchbury, Chair of the Town Centre and Events Committee, said:
Buckingham Town Council’s Town Centre and Events Committee are pleased to put on a Green and Crafts event, which runs very much in parallel with the Council’s aspirations to create a greener and more sustainable environment, in keeping with our Climate Emergency Action Plan. It renews the Council’s aspirations to collaborate with the community to create a place where both people and the environment can work together – we look forward to seeing you on 12th.
