Kids Vintage Camera Day at Sumburgh Lighthouse
Saturday 5th July | 10am – 2:00pm
Sumburgh Lighthouse and Visitor Centre
Step back in time at Sumburgh Lighthouse for a fun-filled day of creativity and discovery!
As part of Kids Arts and Crafts Week, children will choose a real vintage camera, learn how it works, and head outdoors to capture their own photographs on film. Their photos will be developed by Chris G Smith Photography, with digital scans sent afterward. Kids will also enjoy a guided tour of the historic lighthouse, learn about the heritage of the first Stevenson Lighthouse, then relax with refreshments in the observatory.
A perfect blend of history, art, and hands-on fun!
