About this event
🌿 Woodland Play at Highbury Orchard
Join us for Woodland Play – a friendly, nature-based session for families at Highbury Orchard, tucked away in the heart of Highbury Park.
These relaxed sessions are designed to help children (and their grown-ups!) connect with the outdoors through play, creativity, and seasonal discovery. Activities may include:
- Den building and imaginative play
- Nature crafts and storytelling
- Exploring plants, bugs, and wildlife
- Seasonal games and sensory activities
- Time to simply roam, climb, and enjoy the Orchard
Pay what you can donations, guide price £6 per child, £12 per family (2-4 children)
We provide a safe and welcoming environment, encouraging children to explore at their own pace while parents and carers enjoy the community atmosphere.
