FAMILIES looking to end the half-term on a green note can head to National Trust property Erddig.

The Trust has a Green Day this Sunday from 11am-4pm, May 31, featuring demonstrations and hands-on workshops to educate visitors about a greener lifestyle.

There will be circus performers from Syrcas Circus teaching juggling skills with recycled materials; they will also stilt walk on recycled materials along with performing an environmental puppet show.

Visitors can have a go at paper-making with Scintillate, soap-making with Freyaluna and make their own pots with Wenlock pottery.

There will be demonstrations of basket-making, beekeeping, and entertainment from the Welsh Folk Group Dawnswyr Delyn and the Alien Green Man.

Talks about wind turbines, solar panels and converting cars to gas will be held.
Owls from North Wales Pet rescue, Roly the Pig compostor and Trusty the hedgehog will be there.

Organisations will also be on hand to show how to save energy and water and how to recycle.

Erddig has its own exhibition 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle', which will give you loads of ideas on ways to think of alternatives.
