This October half term, join Charterhouse to celebrate 80 years since Tove Jansson’s first book The Moomins and the Great Flood was published. In collaboration with Moomin Characters and Counterpoint Arts, Woodland Tribe will lead this exciting activity in the historic walled garden at the Charterhouse. Artist Nabil Amini will lead additional workshops from Thursday onwards.

Over the course of each day children will help build a Moomin inspired boat, which featured heavily in the Moomin books, as well as take part in a range of Moomin themed craft activities to take home. Each 75 minute session is a lively mix of hands-on building using real tools (including hammers, saws and nails!), creative making and playing.

Woodland Tribe are the UK masters of constructive play, with sold out residencies at Tate Modern, Southbank Centre and major UK festivals.
