MEXICAN DAY OF THE DEAD
Saturday 1 Nov, 11am – 6pm
(drop in, no booking)
Free entry, activities: £1 / £3 / £5 / £8 / Free*
Ages 5 to adult.
A family day with activities for all ages, celebrating Día de los Muertos. In Mexico, colourful decorations are strung about the streets and shrines with marigold flowers, candles, memorabilia and sugar skulls are built to commemorate loved ones who have died. Coming the day after Halloween, there’s a bit of a cross over with jack-o-lantern imagery, spooky masks and skulls, but this is a celebration focused on gatherings of family and friends rather than mischief and trick or treat.

Last year when we were located at Boundary Wharf this was very popular and we really enjoyed hosting it, so we’re happy to bring it to INTRA and hope you will join us for some of these activities:

• Decorate our windows with a vinyl sticker collage. *Free.
• Make a shrine decoration for a lost loved one. *Free.
• Colouring-in competition. *Free
• Make papel picado cut-out banners from recycled materials. £1 per person.
• Decorate a sugar skull. £3 per person.
• Face painting. £3 per person.
• Make Dia De Los Muertos jewellery. £5.
• Screen print a tote bag with Dia De Los Muertos designs. £5 small / £8 large.
