Families in Redbridge looking for an imaginative and hands-on activity are in for a treat this autumn. Fullwell Cross Library is hosting an engaging Sugar Skull Mask Making Craft session on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, starting at 2:00 PM. This colourful workshop invites children and their parents or carers to explore the rich artistic traditions of Día de los Muertos by designing and decorating their very own vibrant sugar skull masks.
