Free springtime children's event with Tinder Sticks & LBBD Ranger Service

Come and celebrate Spring at Beam Parklands with Tinder Sticks and the LBBD Ranger Service. Join in the fun and learn all about the birds, have a go at making a nest! Discover the spring colours and make some beautiful hapazome to take home (bashing the colour out of flowers onto material!) and try not to get blown away as we make and race kites across the grassland.
