Young children will be able to explore a nature trail, go on a scavenger hunt and model animals out of clay as part of a FREE wild play session later this month.
The Nature Connect Club event, which is suitable for children up to seven years old, will be held at The Wallace Centre, Abbey Hulton, on 27 August from 1.30-3.30pm.
Organised by Festival Stoke, the session will also include the chance to take part in a whole host of natural art activities.
The recently-launched Wallace Centre Community Garden will also be open for children to explore and play in too.
No need to book - just turn up on the day and go wild for this FREE event.
