Music-making, nature adventures and spooky surprises – your October half-term plans are sorted! Join us at Witton Lakes Eco Hub for three free family events full of creativity, discovery and frightfully good fun.

We’re bringing families together at Witton Lakes Eco Hub for three free events packed with opportunities to explore, get creative and enjoy time together. Whether you’ve got a budding nature detective, a little music-maker or a costume-loving crew, there’s something to look forward to.

Collect, Create, Play: Nature Makes Music
Monday 26 October | 11am–1pm

Who needs a recording studio when you’ve got the great outdoors? Join us for Nature Makes Music, a family outdoor sound adventure where curiosity takes centre stage. With a “Collect, Create, Play” theme, it’s a chance to explore nature through sound and enjoy a different kind of family music session. Bring your imagination and get ready to make some noise!

This event is free. No need to book, just turn up on the day. For more information, contact Rebecca.Kibbler@wittonlodge.org.uk or call 0121 227 3200.

Calling All Nature Detectives: Family Nature Safari
Tuesday 27 October | 10am–12pm

Ready to swap screen time for safari time? Our Family Nature Safari invites families to head outdoors and discover the nature around them. Bring your curiosity, keep your eyes peeled and enjoy an autumn adventure together at Witton Lakes Eco Hub.

The event is free, but booking is essential. To book your place, email Rebecca.Kibbler@wittonlodge.org.uk or call 0121 227 3200.

Calling All Little Monsters: Spooktacular Halloween
