Eye Gets Green is a club for young people (12 – 16 years) from Eye or nearby villages, where they can get creative and be green at the same time. It’s a set of four creative workshops/sessions, where young people can try some different activities that they might enjoy. The activities are street art, trying spray painting, stencilling, building characters, trying illustration techniques, planting, making stories, creating 3d characters from air drying clay. Each week is led by a different creative, where they demonstrate and encourage the young people.
Create a story for a character through fun activities, using creative writing that wants your imagination to grow wild. Once you have made your story then share it whilst you learn about the folklore of some herbs, then plant one to take away. Expect messy ink and messy fingers.

Access information:
There is ramp that means its wheelchair accessible with two small steps with a handrail into the building. The street art session will use spray cans and we will make sure there is adequate ventilation. The planting with herbs activity will be using compost but we can provide gloves if needed. There will be a sign for Peterborough Presents outside. We will have a quiet space for anyone that needs some time away. Toilets are available for attendees to use inside the main building and they are wheelchair accessible.
Travel information:
There is a bus stop opposite St Matthews Church and the venue is two mins walk away. There is a small car park for 4-5 spaces and drop off’s etc. This is also good for blue badge holders. But this is also used by the library, so if you are able to park elsewhere then please do.
