Tendring Beasts: folklore, story sharing and design
Tuesday 11 August 2026 at 10:30 AM
Manningtree Library
Event Description
This summer, Creative Tendring is bringing local folklore to life through spectacular wearable straw sculptures inspired by traditional mummers, legends, and straw crafts.
Join us at Manningtree Library to explore local stories, share ideas, and help design a brand-new mythical beast for Tendring. Will it be a sea creature, a guardian of the fields, or something entirely unique? Let your imagination shape a new local legend.
A fun, creative session for all ages
