About this Event
Join us for our October holiday Rewilding Rangers session, where we'll be working with local artist Catriona Hawksworth learn about plants, their history, and creating our own spells!
Catriona has been doing a creative residency at Rewilding Denmarkfield and has been delving into the history, culture and music of the local area and plants and wildlife.
Did you know that one of the Scots names for Yellow Rattle is Dog’s Sillar, because the seed heads look like small coins, and if you stand under an elder tree on a faerie hill on Halloween, you’ll see the faeries walking past?
We'll see what mystical and magical plants can be found at Denmarkfield, and have a go at conjuring up our own names and spells! We will also make some magic wands, just in time for Halloween.
The session is aimed at primary school aged children aged 5 to 11. A parent/ carer must stay throughout the whole session.
Please note that parking is only available at the Luncarty Memorial Hall (15-20 minute walk). A member of staff will be at the Hall at 9.30am to walk with you to Denmarkfield. If this walk would be an issue for you or your family, please get in touch ([email protected]) so we can discuss alternative access options. There is bicycle parking available at the allotment and you are more than welcome to cycle and meet us at the allotment.
The session is free but there is a suggested donation of £3 per child, which can be purchased as an add-on. All donations go towards the work of our small charity, including running educational sessions like this one.
Hot chocolate and a biscuit will be provided. Sturdy footwear or wellies and waterproofs are recommended, as well as suncream to prepare for all kinds of Scottish weather!
