Wild Words

Is it true that only frogs sit on logs, and cats sit on mats?

How many syllables are in a haiku?

What does the word Alpenglow mean, and does anything rhyme with it?

Inspired by books like Oi Frog and The Lost Words we'll answer some of these questions and have a go at writing some of our own poems, spells or short stories in the woods!

Adults must attend with the children, and be responsible for them at all times - you must stick together for the whole activity!

Activities are free for everyone, though spaces are limited to minimise disruption to the woodland habitat. We have two timeslots to spread the number of people onsite at once - please try to stick to your allocated timeslot on the ticket.

Our activities are designed to take place outdoors, so wrap up warm or wear suitable sun protection.

Please let us know if you are unable to make it so we can offer the space to others.

There will be drop-in spaces available on the day, so even if the activity is fully booked online - come along and we'll squeeze you in.

Railway Fields is situated at 381 Green Lanes (N4 1ES) on the section between Manor House and Turnpike Lane tube stations. We are opposite Harringay Green Lanes Station. The nearest tube is Manor House on the Piccadilly line. Nearest rail stations are Harringay Green Lanes Station and Harringay Station. Several buses run past the gates, including numbers 29, 341 and 141. There is no car parking on site, however 2hr parking is available in nearby Arena Shopping Park. You can’t miss the large wrought iron metal gates decorated with animals. On arrival, walk up the cobbled drive until you reach the wooden cabin where we will be!
