In Japan Obon is an important festival which celebrates the spirits of the dead coming back to be reunited with their families. Paper lanterns are lit to help guide the spirits home or to their resting place. In these family workshops you will visit the Kizuna! exhibition, make and decorate an Obon lantern, and try floating it on our indoor ‘river’. Obon is being celebrated alongside Kizuna! a special exhibition celebrating the bond between Japan and Wales. Drop-in at any time between 11am and 4pm. £2 a head. Pay at the shop on arrival.
