Also outside, a drop-in dandelion making workshop will run throughout the day. Make a dandelion and give it to Daniel, receive one from him or simply walk alongside this 8ft puppet as he explores the grounds. 

With a crown of danelions on his head and bare feet on the earth, Daniel shows the grace of someone who has faced struggled but chooses kindness. Daniel walks purposefully, offering small acts of care - a dandelion, a momen of presence, or a smile - to everyone he encounters.
When Daniel appears, he reminds us that even in dark times, something gentle and brave can still grow.
