Summer in the Hidden Forest

About Summer in the Hidden Forest

Meet underneath the trees in our magical Hidden Forest this summer holiday and get creative, connecting nature with drawing, sculpture building and sensory activities.

Drop-in and follow your child’s imagination as they explore, create and play under a canopy of trees in our outdoor space where imaginations can soar and family memories are made.

This event is led and held by an artist educator and features guided activities linked to nature and the sculptures in the Park. Sessions take place on Thursdays and Fridays in the Wakefield school holidays.

Open to everyone, pop in between 11.00–15.00 where you will be met with a warm welcome.

Additional
Information

This session is outdoors, please wear sensible footwear and dress appropriately for the weather. Hidden Forest is sheltered by trees which means it often is cooler than more open spaces. We recommend packing extra layers to keep warm.
