upcoming wildish club events

Join the Cambridge Wildish Club on a gorgeous wildflower walk around Houghton Meadows. We’ll be joined by John, BCN Wildlife Trust Voluntary Warden for Houghton Meadows, who will share his knowledge of the local wildlife, wildflowers, and history of the area.

Join us in the Lee Valley as we wander through its lakes, wetlands and big skies. May is a lovely time to do it — nesting birds, hawthorn blossom and the reed beds waking up. Along the way we'll stop to sketch by the water for 20-30 minutes. No artistic experience needed, and no one will be judging your heron. A 10.3 km circular walk, flat and easy going. Bring a pencil, a light layer and some snacks. Meet at Cheshunt Station (Liverpool Street line, around 30 mins) at 13:15 for a 13:30 start.

Curious about natural dyes? Join us in the Wildish Garden for a hands-on afternoon exploring the magic of plant colour. In this beginner-friendly workshop, local spinner Anna Greenwood will guide us through the basics of dyeing wool with natural materials.
