GUERRILLA CRAFT<br />
K I D S L I S T I N G S<br />
Guerrilla Craft will teach teens a variety of<br />
craft skills, focusing on innovative ways to<br />
customise clothes.<br />
The three day-long workshops will be informal,<br />
and encourage students to experiment<br />
with their own ideas. One session will focus<br />
on using ‘found materials’ one wouldn’t normally<br />
think of attaching to clothes, such as<br />
builders’ plastic and bubble wrap. Hopefully<br />
not meat, though.<br />
Wed <strong>10</strong>th- Fri 12th, <strong>Lewes</strong> Castle Education<br />
Room, <strong>10</strong>am-3.30pm, £20/day or £50 for all<br />
three (materials are provided, so booking is<br />
essential), guerrillacraftlewes@gmail.com or<br />

INTREPID THEATRE<br />
Intrepid is a good name for a theatre company<br />
preparing to stage Peter Pan in a week, using<br />
a group of 5-12-year-olds.<br />
The company’s week-long workshops are always<br />
popular, as they let kids get involved with<br />
all parts of setting up the show. The morning<br />
sessions focus on acting, while afternoons are<br />
reserved for crafts, including costume and set<br />
design. Parents and friends will be able to see<br />
the results of the kids’ efforts at the grand performance<br />
on Friday afternoon.<br />
There are two workshops in <strong>Lewes</strong>, one starting<br />
on the 1st, another on the 22nd. Southover<br />
Church Hall, 9.15am—3.15pm Monday-Friday,<br />
£130 per child (£<strong>10</strong>0 for siblings), 01273<br />
476226 or of�ce@intrepidinspires.co.uk<br />
(If you miss out on a place, Intrepid’s also run-<br />
ning a Saturday morning series of classes at<br />
the All Saints Saints Centre, starting in September.)<br />
TRAIN & CAR DAYS OUT<br />
The Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum<br />
hosts a marvellous collection of<br />
vintage cars by Lamborghini, BMW, and<br />
Bentley, as well as several that look a bit<br />
like Brum.<br />
Visitors might want to bring a birdwatcher’s<br />
guide. The site hosts around 125 of<br />
the world’s 147 wildfowl species, including<br />
Australian black swans. There are 12<br />
acres of wood to explore, by foot, or on<br />
the miniature train. (Open daily, <strong>10</strong>.30am<br />
- 5.30pm, £8/7/6, 01825 840573, http://<br />
www.bentley.org.uk/)<br />
For a more comprehensive rail experience,<br />
head to the Lavender Line in Is-<br />
�eld. On Bank Holiday Monday (29th),<br />
Sun 7th and Sun 28th, steam trains will be<br />
running the picturesque two-mile circuit<br />
through Little Horsted.<br />
Diesel trains will be in action on other<br />
Sundays, as well as every Wednesday and<br />
Thursday of the month. They go every<br />
half hour from 11am to 4.30, and if you’re<br />
lucky (or is that unlucky?), you might see<br />
one of the Line’s ghosts: the lady in white<br />
or the drunken gamekeeper.<br />
There’s plenty more to see, including a<br />
steam-era café, a Grade II-listed signalbox,<br />
a model railway, and a<br />
conservation area, with<br />
wildlife posters telling<br />
you what to<br />
look out for.<br />
