Spooky Portrait Craft

Make a spooky portrait at Cowes Library during October half-term, with an afternoon craft session and an important note about toilet facilities.

Give a half-term afternoon a Halloween twist with Spooky Portrait Craft at Cowes Library. The Isle of Wight Council Library Service invites visitors to make a spooky portrait on Tuesday 27 October, from 2pm to 4pm. It’s a focused bit of making, handy when you want a seasonal plan in Cowes. The portrait is the centre of the session, so there’s a clear project to ask about before you go.

The library is on Beckford Road. One practical thing needs planning around: the organiser says Cowes Library currently has no toilet facilities. Build a stop into your afternoon before you arrive, particularly with children in tow. The event runs for two hours, so keep that window in mind for the rest of the day, and check with the library whether you need to be there at the start or can join in partway through.

The published description gives no admission charge, no recommended age and no list of materials supplied. Ask the library about those, and about any booking requirement, before you set out. That will also tell you whether the activity suits the children coming with you. If you’re filling the rest of half-term, there are more family events on the Isle of Wight to fit around the library visit.
