About the event

Let’s celebrate Autumn and its vibrant colours in Victoria Park! Join us for some seasonal arts and crafts as we create our own autumn bookmarks using colourful leaves gathered from the park. We’ll explore the beautiful trees through a tree post rubbing activity and a nature trail. Finally, we’ll learn all about squirrels in autumn with an energetic and interactive game!

Suitable for Families (children aged 5-15 accompanied by their grownups)
