FREE Neurodiversity Friendly Nature and Green Craft Workshops at BOSFest 2024

We're offering free Neurodiversity Friendly Nature and Green Craft Workshops at our Bankside Open Spaces Festival - escape the crowds and explore our city's wilder side.

Join Bankside Open Spaces Trust and The Neurodiversity Family Hub for a Barefoot Safari (a mindful walk in a safe space with some insect identification too), seed bomb making or a cyanotype workshop. (Cyano-what you might ask! Well, it's using the sun to make beautiful prints - a complicated word for a simple process - come and find out all about it!)

Plus, enjoy these activities in our Calm Zone - a specially designed respite area from the hubbub of Bankside Open Spaces Festival.

All tickets free - booking required: Eventbrite.co.uk
