What's on
Vinyl 4 Teenz
Give Vinyl a New Spin. Forget playlists. Make music themed art instead.
Give an old vinyl record a brand-new life as you transform it into a one-of-a-kind artwork with CEM.DES using paint pens, collage, stickers, lettering and illustration.
Artist CEM.DES will be on hand with creative tips, inspiration and plenty of encouragement to help you make something that’s completely your own.
When you’re finished, your customised vinyl is yours to take home, hang on your wall or show off to your mates.
Wheelie Proud Flag Making
Go bold with glitter, colour, patterns and messages that celebrate who you are, what you love or simply what makes you smile. Whether you’re making a statement, showing your pride or just creating something wonderfully wild, there’s no right or wrong way to make your masterpiece.
Then, when the music starts, wave your handmade creation high as Wheelie Proud rolls by in a riot of disco, colour and celebration.
Perfect for families, little makers and anyone who loves getting creative. Bright. Bold. Joyful.
