A PROJECT to introduce cranes to the Somerset Levels after 400 years is being celebrated at the Willows and Wetlands Visitor Centre on Saturday, November 22.
Schoolchildren will be processing and dancing with willow sculptures of the iconic bird as part of the free annual Christmas Craft and Food Fayre from 2pm to 5.30pm.
Music will be provided by The Big Noise Street Band and Stoke St Gregory School Band and an art project by students from Huish Episcopi Academy will form part of the celebrations.
The Great Crane Project has seen Somerset Art Works delivering creative workshops within the community, while pupils from Stoke St Gregory and North Curry Primary Schools have been constructing dragonflies and headdresses, while Heathfield School students have created theatrical costumes.
Artist Sarah Butterworth has also built two large crane sculptures which are used as illuminated lanterns.
