Knots of Creativity — turn retired climbing ropes into useful keepsakes

Children ages 6–8 and their families can turn retired CLYMB climbing ropes into baskets, pen holders or organisers. This hands-on sustainability workshop combines shared problem-solving with a useful creation to take home.

10 November 2026: The current CLYMB page confirms 18 November, 16:00–21:00, children ages 6–8 with families and four session choices: 16:00–17:00, 17:15–18:15, 18:30–19:30 and 19:45–20:45. The current form offers 2–6 family members and 2–6 children, with no one-child option. Preserve that warning without inventing a formal minimum. Miral’s current 5 November announcement explicitly makes participation free with mandatory registration. Its zoo-admission footnote applies to the separate Dama event. CLYMB legal terms confirm no ticket for public areas and supervision by an adult aged 18+ for children aged 11 and under. Climbing and skydiving are excluded. A small buffet is mentioned but not explicitly priced free, so retain refreshments[].
