Children between the ages of 11-16 have been urged to join the Old Sarum Youth Club and OLAS Art for a graffiti art workshop.

The workshop will take place on tonight (Monday 23rd May) between 6.00pm and 8.00pm at the Old Sarum Community Centre.

Participants will work to create a design for the Old Sarum Skatepark.

It's aimed at giving local young people a sense of ownership for the space, and provide an activity for them to get stuck into.

The ramps have been left blank since they were installed off Castle Well Drive

The workshop will see young people given a lesson in graffiti art, and the opportunity to create their own piece of art to take away using a record as a canvas.

The project has been backed by the funding from the Southern Wiltshire Area Board.

If this is your first time attending then please send a message to the following email for a permission form: kwatson@communityfirst.org.uk.
