Nature Walk and Creative Drawing with Illustrator Gillian Flint

Join us for a relaxed and engaging family-friendly walk at Northern Roots, specially designed for children aged 5–11 and their families.

We’ll begin by meeting at the Northern Roots sign in the car park, then set off to explore the beautiful surroundings together. Along the way, children will be invited to take inspiration from nature and create their own artwork, guided by local illustrator Gillian Flint.

Our walk will include stops to observe and draw at inspiring spots, before we return to the farm to finish our drawings. There, we’ll also enjoy a short, child-friendly talk about what’s growing on site, and discover more about the bees, bugs, and hidden wildlife that make this space their home — perfect for curious young minds!

This is a fantastic opportunity for families to spend time outdoors, spark creativity, and explore the natural world together.

Please check the weather forecast before attending and dress appropriately. The walk will include some uneven terrain, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

Feel free to bring your own picnic to enjoy at the end of the session.

In partnership with Northern Roots. Part of our Summer REading Challenge programme.
