A series of free summer workshops for all the family will be hosted at The Hopmarket.

Spare Room Arts are organising the arts and crafts workshops, which will follow an 'on the beach' theme and will be held on Tuesdays starting in late July and throughout August at the retail space.

The Hopmarket has been a place of trade since 1731, where dealers marketed hops.

In the early 1900s the site was replaced with the current building, becoming a hotel and a bank before being revamped into a shopping courtyard.

Among the sessions, a sea crown-making workshop using recycled fabrics is set for July 30.

On August 6, attendees will learn how to create plastic bottle jelly fish, sparkly fish and crabs using recycled materials.

A sun printing workshop will use solar power to create images on August 13.

A summer-themed clay workshop, involving printing onto clay using shells and crafting clay sea creatures, is set for August 20.

A kite-making workshop will wrap up the series on August 27.

Sarah Edwards from Spare Room Arts said: "We are so looking forward to being back in The Hopmarket this summer; last summer was such a success.

"This year’s theme is ‘on the beach’ which has endless possibilities for children.

"We look forward to welcoming you all."

Children and families can stay throughout each workshop, as the organisers have provided soft play areas and sandpits for little children.

The workshops run from 10am to 4pm and do not require pre-booking.

Chairman of The Hopmarket Charitable Trust, Bill Simpson, said: "We are delighted to be hosting another summer of creative activities and events.

"The Hopmarket is a great home for them.

"Such is their success that we have added a further date this year.

"Free and open to everyone, we look forward to welcoming lots of families again throughout the summer."
