About this event

Other

Ever noticed how many African statues are missing their noses? It’s not an accident, and the story behind it is more powerful than you might think.

This October half term, Opal22 is teaming up with Highcross Leicester to bring you Pick Your Nose! A one-of-a-kind workshop where history meets creativity. Children will step into a world of ancient stories, uncover the mystery of defaced statues, and discover how faces and features tell us about race, culture, and identity.

Then it’s time to get hands-on as kids will design and sculpt their very own clay statue to take home!

Why you’ll love it

This isn’t your average holiday activity. It’s lively, messy, and sparks big ideas in little minds. Kids get the chance to learn, create, and play, while parents enjoy a free, family-friendly event right in the heart of the city.

Perfect for…

  • Families with children aged 5+
  • Young makers, builders, and curious minds
  • Anyone looking for free fun in Highcross this half term

Sign up now!

For Safeguarding reasons, parents or guardians are expected to stay with their children for the duration of the workshop.
