About the event

This is part of a series of Wild in the Meadows family sessions based at Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve on Thursdays during school holidays and on Saturdays during the warmer months.

Join the team to have a go at making something creative with wood. We'll bring along a selection of tools such as saws, potato peelers, and secateurs, some branches and sticks, and a whole load of ideas. Use your imagination, and we'll see what you create!

This session is perfect for ages 7-11. Older children will also enjoy the activity. It is not suitable for mobile children under 5 for health and safety reasons. You are welcome to bring pre-walking babies in a buggy or sling.

What to bring

To avoid bites, stings and scratches, long sleeves and long trousers are suggested for all participants. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and sturdy shoes. The sessions will go ahead even if it rains, so you may require waterproofs. It is unlikely but if it is especially windy or lightening is forecast, it may not  be advisable to run the session. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund your money.
