The workshop costs £10 per family. We do not want the cost to be a barrier to accessing this event, if it is not affordable for you, please email learning@wildlondon.org.uk for a place.

Meet at the visitor centre at 28 Marsden Road.

This session will be led by a member of our Learning & Engagement team.

Aimed at 6- 12 year olds but younger siblings welcomed. All children must be accompanied throughout the session by a responsible adult.

Mobility

All of the Centre for Wildlife Gardening is accessible for wheelchair users except for the Woodland Path, which is too narrow for most wheelchairs.

The area around the new visitor centre and main path down to the pond dipping platform has accessible surfaces, whilst other footpaths around the site are surfaced in woodchip. Some of the surfaces are uneven or covered in some vegetation.

There is a quiet indoor classroom area that can be used for breaks.
