As in other years, there will be a special children's walling activity again this year, both days of the 2017 dry stone wall festival, involving the creating of lots of miniature 'dry pebble' walls, huts, and bridges. Parents are invited to watch, but really, this is the 'Kids Only' part of the festival. Kids make sure your parents mark down the dates September 30th - October 1st on their calendar, and remember to bring you to our 'It's a small wall after all' event coming up NEXT weekend!
