Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Whilst our volunteer editors will do their best to ensure our events listings are as up to date and accurate as possible; with the fast pace of how things are changing, it is inevitable that some will slip through the net. If you are planning on travelling for larger events, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly to avoid disappointment. We are putting in place new measures to give event organisers a friendly reminder to see if they wish to remove cancelled events, so we're sorry if it looks a bit bare in here :(

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for free, professional advice.

It's also a chance to discuss any environmental issues that are on your mind with other like-minded people in a supportive atmosphere and seek effective action that we can take as individuals and communities. All materials are provided, no experience required. Hot drinks and biscuits also provided. The activity will take place inside at Sutton Courtenay Environmental Education Centre. This session is suitable for adults and young people aged 14+, please note under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

Adult Winter Tree and Shrub Identification, 22nd February 2025, 9:30 to 13:00 at Sutton Courtenay Environmental Education Centre (21.5 miles)
Learn to identify a wide range of trees and shrubs in winter.
Most of us recognise a tree by its leaves, but what about in winter when many trees are leafless? Come along to our beautiful nature reserve and learn to identify a wide range of trees in the winter. This course is suitable for beginners up to those with an intermediate level knowledge. Our visiting expert, James Warren, will cover the basics of tree identification, develop your botanical skills and understanding of terminology, as well as discussing tree hybrids and potential tree diseases and damage to trees. Perfect for anyone interested in finding out a bit more about the wonderful world of trees. The course will consist of a theory section in our education centre followed by a practical ID walk around the nature reserve where we have a wide variety of species for you to test your skills on. Tea and cake included (please let us know any dietary requirements on booking). You may like to bring a notebook and pencil.
Please wear appropriate outdoor clothing including waterproofs. Wellies may be essential as the site gets very wet in places in winter - please bring them in case!

Adult Memory Basket Weaving Workshop, 15th March 2025, 9:30 to 16:30 at Sutton Courtenay Environmental Education Centre (21.5 miles)
Weave willow, fabric scraps and memories into a beautiful, useful and unique basket.

Do you have lots of fabric scraps you don't know what to do with? Old dresses and pairs of jeans too worn out to mend any more but to special to throw away? Baby clothes? Come learn to weave them into a basket! We'll make a willow frame using material grown on the nature reserve, then use your scraps (and we'll have extra material on hand) to weave the middle of the basket. A lovely way to give old materials new life and learn an ancient skill at the same time. The session will take place in our bright education centre classroom overlooking the nature reserve. Hot drinks, biscuits and a slice of cake provided - please bring a packed lunch.
