About the event

Welcome to Discover Wild Luton, our exciting Easter programme filled with hands-on, nature‑based activities for families and adults.

Below are the activities taking place on Thursday (9th April):

10:00-12:00| Wood Whittling for Adults

This session is suitable for adults aged 18+.

Please book via the Eventbrite link for this session.
Price: £3 + booking fee per person
When registering, you will be asked to provide your age.

13:30-15:30| Making Tree Signs for Luton Orchards (afternoon session)

Join Konni from Luton Orchards to help create weather‑proof tree labels that can be used to mark the fruit varieties in Luton’s orchards. These labels are designed to withstand all elements and support ongoing orchard care.

This session is open to volunteers and local organisations who have previously been involved in conservation, wild gardening, or orchard work and would like to contribute to maintaining these beautiful and diverse green spaces across Luton.

Price: Free of charge, but booking is essential so we can plan for the correct number of participants.

*Please note: There are a limited number of tickets available for each session.

Discover Wild Luton is a programme of activities created by the Luton Health and Nature Partnership(Health and Nature Partnership), a collaboration of organisations that deliver outdoor, nature-based events and activities in the green spaces of Luton. This Easter programme is designed to give local residents a ‘taste’ of what the partnership delivers on a weekly basis. Thanks to National Heritage Lottery Funding we are able to deliver some activities for free and others at a very affordable rate. Please take a look through the whole programme to see what might be of interest and suitable for you as an adult or a more child friendly session. 
Alongside this Easter programme there is a longer running exhibition in the Hat Works Space called Chalk Wanderings. This is curated by Abi Spendlove and compliments the different sessions we will be running so please do allow time to explore that exhibition whilst at Hat Works.

We will meet at the reception area of Hat Works located on 47 Guildford Street (not to be confused with Hat Factory across the road). Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of the activity to sign in for the activity and meet the activity leader.
