About Mizuiku
We are delighted to be running these activities free of charge for families thanks to an exciting collaboration with Suntory Beverage & Food Great Britain & Ireland (SBF GB&I) - owner of Lucozade and Ribena. With these workshops we are expanding Suntory’s water education programme in the UK. Known as the ‘Mizuiku’ programme, "mizu" means water, and "iku" means education in Japanese, and reflects the importance of learning about and caring for water. This is the perfect partnership for sharing the message about the importance of water conservation.
The Quarry is Shrewsbury’s main recreational park, situated in the heart of the town in the famous loop of the river Severn. There is a children’s play area, lots of historic features and beautiful gardens to explore.
