About the event

Join us at Sydenham Hill Wood to see how nature can be used to create stop-motion animated videos. We'll spend some time watching some examples. Then creating storyboards, designing characters with recycled and natural parts. And then creating our masterpiece: either creating moving patterns with nature or making our own nature story.

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.

Please note, you will need to bring a smart phone and download an app to put our story together. If you won't have access to a phone during the event, please let us know ahead of time.

Mobility

Gates at Crescent Wood Road and Cox's Walk prohibit access by wheelchair and buggy users. There is an accessible entrance on Grange Lane with an accessible path until the pond. In other sections footpaths are uneven and there are many steps because of the Wood’s inclines.  The Green Chain Walk goes through SHW and Cox’s Walk. Numbered fingerposts denote points of the nature trail. Benches are placed around the reserve. Street parking is available in Crescent Wood Road.
