Fruit picking cancelled.
So sorry but we have decided to cancel this event. There is actually so little fruit this year due to the hot weather – virtually no plums and the blackberries haven’t had enough water so quite small and bitter. Here’s hoping for a better season next year. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our other free summer events.
We have 7 events over the summer including: den building, fruit picking, whittle a magic wand or amulet, felting, weaving, bug hunt and fire making. All events are free unless otherwise stated. Please check the recommended age and book for all coming both adults and children via the What’s On page of our website www.wildcatwilderness.org
Take part in our #pebblehunt from Sunday 28th June across #Catford. There will be over 100 pebbles hidden across Catford. If you find one let us know on Instagram or Facebook @wildcatwildernesscatford .This is the final part of our Digging the Dirt project about #soil so each pebble has a message or picture related to the world beneath your feet.
Will you find a snail, flower or maybe a mushroom?
Post your finds linked to our social media and you could win a free session at our wonderful community site site to host your own event for a morning or afternoon.
We will be giving clues out over the next few days on social media about the locations but wait until Sunday to start your hunt. Good luck
