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!

Following the government's latest guidance on emerging from national lockdown, we are excited to announce that we will be restarting our Family Wild Walks!

We are excited to restart our Wild Walks project and to be able to gather again, even under current restrictions! It is important to us that our Wild Walks are safe, inclusive and nourishing for everyone. 

Mindfulness and nature go hand in hand…We know lots of you really enjoyed the meditation and yoga at Green Farm, and discussed mindfulness on our walks.

Carl Faure, founder of Stretch Yoga and a founding Board member of Outdoor People is now offering their wonderful yoga for parents, toddlers, tweenies and teens for free online as part of his ‘reciprocity project’.

All three classes are on Wednesdays at 10, 11 and 12 noon. There is also free breathwork sessions with Carl on Monday and Thursday. A great way to calm the nervous system before bed. Just book online here.
