HLF funded easter activities - Podcasts, Animation, 3D Watermills and Music made by Corn Mill Artists Shaun Blezard, Ellie Chaney, Adam Clarke & Matt Kassell along with the talented young locals who attended over the easter holidays 2012.

As part of our Heritage Lottery development funding we piloted several free events and activities over the Easter Holiday period (2012), which targeted some of our under-served audiences, so we invited families, teenagers and young people along to see what's on offer and to take part. Here you will be able to see and listen to the fab media produced in these workshops.

Podcasting & Radio Show  Shaun Blezard and Ellie Chaney ran the podcasting workshops and will upload the recordings to the Heron Corn Mill Soundcloud for you all to listen to the excellent work produced. Visit http://soundcloud.com/heron-corn-mill
