Mother Earth Forest Parade

10:00 – 15:00: Acts of Care Treasure Hunt

The Shell House will play host to a forest-wide treasure hunt. Drop by throughout the day to choose your challenge and embark on a wild, wonky walk through the woods.

10:00 – 12:00: Fantastic Mask Making

In preparation for the parade, we’ll be running a mask and totem making workshop in the Fishermans Shelter.

Sign-up is essential as places are limited on the separate event page.

12:30 – 13:00 Parade Gathering

We invite everyone to come adorned in carnivalesque nature-inspired costumery (this could be your favourite plant, creature, mythology, or drag finery – the weirder and wilder the better!) Arm yourself with garlands, face paint, flags and totems inspired by the wild woods. Or if you don’t feel like dressing-up, then simply bring along a brightly coloured hat, flag or colourful clothes, and a sense of fun! We’ll amass outside the café.

13:00 – 14:00 Forest Parade

And off we stomp, a magical troupe of wild creatures let loose in the woods! Together we’ll walk down rarely-trodden paths to discover the secrets, diversities and wild ways of the woods.

14:00 – 15:00 Community Picnic

Finally, we end back at the café to share food and stories of our adventure. We invite you to bring tasty treats for yourselves and your companions, and to lay your picnic rugs across the lawn. This will be a chance to meet and make new friends, to talk to the Hatfield 100 artists and the forest volunteers.
