Bugs, fairies and frogs: Free family events for the school holidays

With some fantastic weather to kick off the school holidays, there are some wonderful opportunities for families in Lewisham to step outside, connect with nature, and let their imaginations run wild - all for free!

The Telegraph Hill Festival is in full swing, and this year’s line-up includes a series of nature-inspired activities perfect for children.


🌱 Tiny Wonders: Create a miniature garden for bugs & fairies


Saturday 5 April & Sunday 6 April, 10:00–12:00

Little greenfingers will love these whimsical workshops, where children are invited to build their very own magical miniature gardens. Whether it’s a cozy haven for a beetle or a fairy’s secret hideaway, these hands-on sessions encourage creativity, storytelling and a closer look at the tiny creatures that call gardens home.


Please bring a small, old container like a bowl or casserole dish. All other materials provided.
