Join City Family for their Spring Family Activity Event! – a FREE relaxed and friendly event, filled with hands-on activity stations that celebrate nature, creativity and togetherness, designed to bring children, parents, carers and grandparents together.

Whether you’re exploring, creating or simply enjoying time with loved ones, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

• Teddy Bear Hunt
  Follow the trail and see how many hidden teddy bears you can find! A fun and gentle activity to get little ones moving, exploring and working together.
• Little Explorers Bug Hunt Adventure
  Become a mini nature detective! Learn about different bugs and head out with a magnifying glass to find tiny creatures living in the park.
• Spring Sandwich Making Station
  Get creative with food! Use spring-shaped cookie cutters and healthy ingredients to design and build your own delicious sandwiches while exploring textures, shapes and tastes.
• Little Sprouts Planting Activity
  Plant your very own cress and take it home to watch it grow. A simple, hands-on way for children to learn about nature, growth and caring for living things.
• Teddy Bear’s Picnic
  We’ll finish with a heart-warming Teddy Bear’s Picnic, where everyone can come together to relax, chat and enjoy the moment. Don’t forget to bring your favourite teddy along to join in the fun, as well as a picnic blanket to get comfy.

This event is all about connection, inclusion and wellbeing – creating a welcoming space for families of all ages, including grandparents, to spend meaningful time together. Through play, exploration and shared experiences, we hope to inspire a love of the outdoors, spark curiosity about nature and support children’s sensory development in a fun and engaging way.

They can’t wait to welcome you for a few hours of smiles, discovery and fun out in the fresh air!
