About the event

Welcome to the Luton Little Bugs Club!

Calling all mini-wildlife explorers!Join us for a fun-filled morning of exploration and discovery!

We'll begin our session by meeting at the Wardown Park play area, before setting off to explore the nearby woodland next to Pope’s Meadow. The walk to the woodland takes approximately 15 minutes each way and includes a moderately steep incline on the way there and a decline on the return. 

This group is for pre-school children (aged 3-5 years old) and encourages outdoor play and discovery. Sessions run fortnightly on a Thursday morning and the aim is to build confidence of being in the outdoors for both children and their guardians and to connect with local green spaces. Enjoy crafts, story time and outdoor play in this lovely location.

Activities may vary and we try to be outside for all sessions, so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. We will serve a drink and snack but please feel free to bring your own packed lunch to enjoy after your session.

Thanks to generous funding from the National Heritage Lottery Fund, we are able to offer subsidised pricing of £3.50 per child (+eventbrite fee).

Please note, bookings close 24 hours before the event and a minimum attendance of four paying children is required for the session to run. All booking fees will be refunded if we are not able to run. Sessions will be cancelled in the case of extreme weather conditions.

Don't miss out on this exciting adventure with fellow nature enthusiasts. See you at the Luton Little Bugs Club!

  • Information about the exact meeting point, and other details, will be sent couple of days before the event. If you have any inquiries regarding the sessions please e-mail ieva.piraga@wildlifebcn.org.
