The event is taking place, as part Classic FM’s Arts & Kids Week, a national campaign led by Children & the Arts to encourage children and their families to get involved in the arts.
The ‘Create- a -vine’ event is the culmination of Princesshay’s Create-a-Quest project. Devised by The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts and supported by Land Securities and Princesshay in Exeter, Create-a-Quest is a national programme designed to introduce children to the magic of the arts.
Emma McLeod, Princesshay Marketing Manager said, “We expect the Create-a -Vine event to be lots of fun for local children and families. The panto characters promise to create lots of laughs and best of all, at the end of the event, children will get to show their artwork off to friends and family during the panto season!”

Rachel Vowles from Exeter Northcott theatre said, “The event in Princesshay promises to be great fun and we can’t wait to display the beautiful vine created in our foyer for Christmas.”
