Join Rob and Hannah for a fun Wildish gathering as we have a go at some stargazing! We'll be on the lookout for planets, try to spot some well-known asterisms and how they fit into bigger constellations. With the new moon being 20th November it should give us the best chance of spotting stars.

Join Rachel and Lou for another Wildish wander starting with a coffee and catch up at our community hub Open House. We'll head North out of the village along hedgerow lined Baulk lane, through a pretty vale with views of Stanage Edge before passing Bronte cottage and North Lees Hall.

Led by archaeologist Dr Rose Ferraby, this relaxed walk will follow a gentle route along the edge of the valley at Pateley Bridge. We’ll be thinking about how we see time at different scales in the landscape, from stone monuments and quarries to the less visible traces of human lives. We’ll think about how Nidderdale has changed, and how we imagine what has come before. We’ll end back at Wildish. Bring: sturdy footwear, waterproofs, warm clothes (always windier up top!).

Join the Wildish Club for a cosy afternoon in Wildish, making beautiful Christmas wreaths using natural greenery and woodland finds. Fran will be leading the workshop and has been making natural Christmas wreaths for years. She will guide us through a delightful afternoon spent making together.

For this year’s festive Wildish gathering, we’re teaming up with our friends at London Bushcraft for a cosy outdoor winter BBQ. This session is about embracing winter by learning some bushcraft skills and sharing food together round a campfire.

Join Bex for our Wildish Christmas Walk doing part of the Saunton Way. From Finchdean, we’ll climb up onto the top of the downs. At 140m, there are panoramic views across the downs — from the Solent in the south to Queen Elizabeth Country Park in the north.
