Family Wild Walks, Hackney Wild Walks, Outdoor Families - June 16, 2021

Summertime Family Wild Walks

Wild Walks – ‘adventures for children to take their adults on’ – are short walks of about 2km (taking about 2 hours), perfect for 3-7 year olds.

As a community, every two weeks, we go on adventures exploring our local green spaces in Hackney and nearby! The aim is to create an environment where children feel they have permission to play outdoors, connect with nature and have fun!

Here are the details for our upcoming Wild Walks:

Hackney Marshes & Kingsmead Wild Walk Sunday 20 June 11am
Woodberry Wetlands Wild Walk Sunday 4 July 11am
Hackney Central Wild Walk Sunday 18 July 11am
Springfield Wild Walk Sunday 1 August 11am

If you would like to join any of our Wild Walks please fill in this form, or email beth@outdoorpeople.org.uk, and Beth - our Community Coordinator - will book you and your family in. It's free!

Family Wild Walks - February 28, 2020

Family Wild Walks 2020

In 2019 we did at least one Family Wild Walk a month, helped by the generous sponsorship of the Arc’teryx Piccadilly Store team. With up to 40 people on some of the walks, more than 50 families joining us over the year and our online community has grown to over 60 members.

In 2020, we’re planning to merge our Wild Walks and Family Camping experiences, to create a year-round Outdoor Families programme, making it easy for people to get outdoors regularly.

March Wild Walk

This month, we'll be exploring the secret spaces of Hoxton and Haggerston, to find a giant snake and a mysterious stone circle.

Meet at the Haggerston Overground Station (Lee Street, E8) on Sunday 15 March 11am.
