A workshop inspired by the production of Once Upon a Time in Sokoto and in celebration of UK Black History Month.

Join us for a FREE African Crafts Workshop at Nottingham Playhouse, led by Kwame from African Activities.

Expect two 45 minute sessions of:

Recycled Bead Making
Adinkra Printing

This crafty session offers a fun exploration into West African art and culture. No experience needed, just come along, get creative and make something new!

A matinee performance of Once Upon a Time in Sokoto (14+) will be taking place after the workshop, a play about an unlikely friendship that defies faith and culture set during the creation of Nigeria. A separate ticket can be purchased here: Once Upon a Time in Sokoto – Nottingham Playhouse)

We’d love to welcome you and celebrate UK Black History Month!
