Fiona Watters, Waste and Recycling Officer at Coleraine Borough Council is excited about the prospect of making her own Halloween outfit this year out of recycled material.

“The aim of the workshop is for children to have fun, be creative and make a Halloween costume from unwanted clothes. I want people to think differently about waste, and hope this is one way to encourage children and their families to think about buying clothes from our local charity shops, “ said Fiona.

The workshop is for Primary six and seven pupils only. Booking is on a first-come-first served basis.
