What is a Family Wild Walk?
Join our chief explorer, Cath, and encourage your kids to be explorers as they help us lead an adventure to discover how wild central Hackney really is!
These walks are 1 - 2 hours wandering from one playground to another playground, via some interesting places, seeing what we see, playing, observing nature, sharing ideas about how to get outdoors and maybe building some new memories and friends!
Perfect for all ages and buggy-friendly, these walks are a great way to see our home, Hackney, in a new way.
Yes, these are FREE
The events are FREE, thanks to everyone who has ever bought anything from the Outdoor People Shop and Schools Shop, or joined our events and donated. Also, thanks to Hackney Council and the It's Great Out There fund, which has funded the development of the maps.
All we ask is that you take a friend (and/or some children!) on another walk - do one, teach one and pass it on!
If you would like to donate to support future walks, you can do so here:

When and Where?
All the walks will be listed on our Outdoor People Events Page, and we are using Humanitix as our ticketing platform, as they allow us to accept donations and have themselves donated over £10 million to children's charities since they were founded.
In 2026, we have decided that most of our walks will end at an adventure playground or with an invitation to another adventure. That may be a museum, a community garden, or another wild space.
Every walk should leave us planning the next steps!
These are the walks planned for the rest of the year:
