Celebrate Earth Day with a whole host of Easter activities at The Higgins Bedford

These workshops – which take place from Tuesday, April 8 to Thursday, April 17 – are specifically crafted to encourage children to think creatively about reducing waste, reusing everyday items, and recycling.

The activities include hands-on projects like creating mini landfills to understand waste management, upcycling origami flowers from junk mail, crafting insect-inspired art with the Wildlife Trust, and creating bee hotels. The sessions are designed for children aged five to 12 years, with some activities suitable for younger ones.

Workshops and activities at The Higgins Bedford often book up quickly so it’s recommended to book your place as soon as possible. Each workshop costs £5.50 per child and there will be three workshops a day from Tuesday to Friday and then Tuesday to Thursday.
