Head to Newcastle Common Saturday 20 April from 11am to 3pm to make your very own UGLY recycled planters to take home with artist Siobhan McAleer. Your very own over the top, colourful, joyous vessel for little Green pals.

If you have a plastic vessel bring it along and we will decorate it and make it fit for purpose! Think things like the bottom of two litre fizzy pop bottles, or big yoghurt pots or round, plastic tubs that were once full of Quality Street! Don’t worry if you don’t have your own, there will be some available for your to glow up.

We will be decorating our chosen pot using vintage, donated and recycled bits!
