This year’s creative workshop season at Oriel y Parc in St Davids has been inspired by the Pembrokeshire coastal landscape.

With a focus on imagination, play, and hands-on discovery, it offers a mix of artist-led workshops, seaside crafts and seasonal trails – all designed to help all visitors to the National Park Discovery Centre of all ages connect with the Pembrokeshire coast in new ways.

With the school holidays in full swing, Wednesdays at Oriel y Parc offer the chance to get crafty with a series of Make and Take workshops for children aged 5+. Highlights include cyanotype printing and gel plate monoprinting with Kate Evans, coastal weaving with Hannah Rounding, and drawing and mark-making with Kate Freeman. More details at www.pembrokeshirecoast.wales/oriel-y-parc .

Throughout the summer, the courtyard will come alive with craft stalls and local produce at the Handmade Craft Fairs, every Tuesday to August 26, and the Summer Craft Market on August 9.

On August 27 and 28, Oriel y Parc hosts a special programme inspired by Pembrokeshire’s seabirds and coastal wildlife. A creative session led by zoologist and author Nicola Davies and philosopher Dr Beth Mackintosh offers children the chance to craft a whale zig zag book and a listening scroll.

The following day, RSPB site manager Greg Morgan will give a talk on the secret lives of Manx shearwaters, followed by storytelling with artist Bron Jones, whose evocative tale, Phantoms of the Sea, brings the eerie calls of the shearwaters to life.

Alongside its summer programme, the discovery centre features regularly changing exhibitions, a gift shop, and a café. It’s also an ideal starting point for exploring the National Park, with knowledgeable staff on hand to offer suggestions for discovering the surrounding coast and countryside.
