Join us at Cody Dock this Summer for our Cody Wildlings Summer Activities Programme!
Free events
We are offering fun art & nature based activities – chances to get creative and get to know some of our local urban wildlife. In each session, we will spend time exploring the riverside and learning about the nature we come across, using this to inspire us as we experiment with different arts and crafts skills.
