Sensory Craft Sessions at Nene Nursery

Event description:

Come along and explore various craft skills - from Branch Weaving to Slow Stitching. These crafts will have an emphasis on mindfulness and enjoying the process.

Our sensory trail will be running alongside the craft activities, during which information boards are placed around the Nursery site, encouraging visitors to engage with the Herb-growing area, Ornamental Ash Tree, Fruit Bed and more.
These sessions can be self-led if preferred, or guided by Nene Park Trust staff and volunteers.

The sessions are FREE to attend and do not need to be booked. However, if you would like to let us know that you plan to visit, or have any questions prior to visiting, please contact us on [email protected]

There is no requirement to take part in the activities available; visitors are welcome to enjoy the nursery by taking a seat in various parts of the space with a hot or cold drink, or simply listen to the activities which are taking place.

Bring your own mug – we would like to invite visitors to bring a mug from home, which can then be used to enjoy a drink (offered at all the advertised sessions) whilst visiting. However, there are plenty of mugs available if this isn’t possible.

Parking – nearest parking is at Ferry Meadows Visitor Centre (PE2 5UU) and a 5 minute walk south will take you to the Nursery (head southwards down Ham Farm Lane from the Visitor Centre, pass the Caravan Club’s entrance on the right hand side and continue south, until the path narrows and if you look to the right, you would see the railway track crossing the Lane, and as you then look across the road on the left, there is a wooden fence and gravel entrance which will take you to the nursery entrance). If accessible parking is required, please contact us by email: [email protected]
