About the event

How many species can a single tree support? Join us this October at Grosvenor Square to uncover the fascinating web of life hidden within our trees and discover how connected nature really is. 

We'll explore seasonal wildlife, with a special focus on spiders and other autumn creatures, learning about their remarkable lives and the folklore that has surrounded them for centuries. Then get creative by making your own mini bug hotel and decorative spider web to take home, perfect for the spooky season.

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 Wheatsheaf building around from the cafe kiosk, what3words: panels.banana.duke.

The 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.

Donations are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.
