ADAM BLAKE
Adventure Walk & Clay Time
He’s back! Adam, our intrepid explorer, has returned from The Adventure Bureau to create a brand-new story. One that is never before heard, 100% made up on the day. And he needs your help…
Working as a team you will accompany Adam on a walk around the market and outside, all contributing to the creation of a unique story by taking inspiration from everything that surrounds you! See your local community through fresh eyes and who knows what amazing adventures can be conjured up!
Adam is bringing along a friend – they’ll help you to make the characters and things that emerge from your invented adventure story during Clay Time.
Walk start times are 11am and 1.30pm
The walk lasts approximately 40 minutes (you won’t go far – there’s a lot of stopping and starting as the stories emerge). Then Clay Time follows immediately afterwards in our Market Hubs and will last for 40 minutes.
Suitable for ages 5+ and their grown ups
Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
