Jane Stewart is running Dolphin Derby costume workshops  at The Nose on the run up to the Walton Dolphin Derby in Saturday 7th September on Walton Beach.

These workshops are to make costumes to wear at the races, for you, your family or friends or for anyone wanting to compete to wear. Each week we will work on a different design. Workshops are for adults or children but kids must be accompanied by an adult.

Come and join the fun. If you have spare cardboard can you bring it along.
