Join us for the Skelton Grange Environment Centre Fundraising Open Day on Saturday 6th September!
Our green oasis beside the River Aire, just 2 miles from Leeds City Centre, is a former industrial site that has been transformed into a haven for wildlife and people. Join us in celebrating it at our Open Day!
Our popular open day will include a range of activities across the beautiful, reclaimed woodland, ponds and meadows on the site.
This four-day playscheme is ALL about getting outside and we aim to be out in the fresh air for most of the day, every day!
Past events have included:
Shelter building, fire lighting, outdoor games, nature study, campfire cooking, field games, hammock making, wild food walks, woodwork crafts, string making, bows and arrows, stalking and tracking, pyro-carving, and charcoal making.
