Tinkley Twigs
Every Monday in term-time, join the Tinkley Twigs! Free, nature themed activities, stories and crafts for children aged 2-4 years.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Wiggle, wander, hunt, splash, discover and play at Tinkley Twigs, a weekly outdoor nature group for toddlers, pre-schoolers, and their grown-ups.
Taking place every Monday during term-time, each session has a different nature theme with a story and activities to get children exploring in nature.
One week we might be hunting for minibeasts, the next we'll be creating masterpieces from natural materials. No two sessions are the same, but they will all have an outdoor element come rain or shine.
Tinkley Gate is open from 10 so please come along early if you and your little one want to explore, come and settle or meet us before we start. Tinkley Twigs is a relaxed session, led by the friendly Twigs volunteers.
There is no need to book, just come along on Monday mornings to join in.
Come along and discover a something new from woodland creatures and wildflowers to birds, bugs and changing weather.
