These include sessions called:

  • Food chains and pollination
  • Create a creepy crawly house
  • Create a giant land art sculpture.

Sessions take place each day from 10am to noon and 1pm to 3pm.

The activities are free but need to be booked in advance as places are limited. Children should be accompanied by a parent or carer.

Saturday 13 August sees a walk through Hasland, meeting at Hasland Junior School at 10.15am for a 10.30am start.

Participants can look at the nature en route before taking part in activities in Eastwood Park including bumble bee identification, healthy food workshop, advice on how to grow your own vegetables and how to make a yurt shelter.

The event finishes at 3pm.

Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing said: “We are committed to providing fun community events and these events at Eastwood Park will allow people of all ages to find out more about the wildlife in and around the park.”
