📅 Saturday 31 October
🕡 Doors 6:30 pm, activities 7-9 pm
👦 15€ per child, all included
⚠️ Limited spots. Open to all ages and families. Children under 6 need a parent with them throughout, including cupcake decorating. Other adults are welcome to relax in the cafeteria or around Salina.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Salt Scrub Workshop at Salina last Saturday with Gilbert Zahra, chemist, educator and beauty lab host.

We mixed, smelled and experimented. Hands in salt, all smiles.

And we’re just getting started. One more workshop in this series is coming up.

Next up: Fermented Vegetables, on 24 October at Salina, 14:00–16:00, with Dr Lidia Babenko. You’ll use local vegetables, take home what you ferment and learn how to do it yourself.

Members: €22 | Non-members: €25

A BODY SCRUB MADE BY YOU, NOT PICKED OFF A SHELF.

Join us at Salina Nature Reserve for a hands-on Salt Scrub Workshop using local Salina salt, natural oils and nourishing butters.

You’ll explore the chemistry behind the ingredients, including how oils and butters differ, what each contributes, and how they work together with salt to create the texture of a body scrub.

Led by chemist and educator Gilbert Zahra, this is a chance to learn something new, make your own body scrub and take it home with you.

No previous experience is needed. Just come curious.

Have you ever seen a Grey Heron catch something?

Come to Salina to observe these fascinating birds and catch the start of autumn migration. As birds start moving through, you may also spot other herons and egrets, waders and kingfishers around the wetland.

Save this post for your next visit to Salina, and share it with someone who likes herons!
