A stroll of South Purdown and up to the Purdown Ridge on the longest day of the year, which this day falls on Saturday 21st June.

We will be meeting in the sloped field just behind Elmcroft Crescent of Muller Road (feel free to bring a picnic dinner for your family to have together after the event), local conservationist Steve England will then take us on a guided walk around South Purdown to look at all the nature that we encounter, including identifying what’s in the hedgerows, our tree species, and what birds and animals may be lurking around our neighbourhood.

We will take a look at our local wildlife, learn the interesting facts about its birds, mammals, critters and creatures. We will learn all about the plants & flowers, hedgerows, field species & trees that make up our South Purdown, and maybe have some practical plants knowledge, hedgerow snacks and creative tree uses thrown in along the way!

We will finish back in the sloped field behind Elmcroft Crescent at approximately 5pm – feel free to bring a drink to enjoy with your neighbours for the longest day of the year afterwards, of course, if the weather is right!

Booking tickets for this walk is essential – there are very limited spaces. All ages welcome. This will be a circular route of around 1.5-2km. The event is aimed at local families in the South Lockleaze and Purdown neighbourhood, but all are welcome to attend.

Please dress according to the weather and wear sturdy footwear.

Cancellation/Postponing due to Poor Weather

SE Outdoor Learning events take place outdoors, and therefore unfortunately may need to be postponed or cancelled in the days leading up to the event if it seems that the weather will be too poor for it to be run safely. We will always aim to confirm cancellation of the event 24 – 48 hours in advance (though on very rare occassions, sudden weather changes may mean its closer than this). Please keep an eye on your emails and Facebook for information regarding this. If you cannot make the postponed date, please request a refund and we will be able to issue this for you asap.
