Throughout the week we will be celebrating the natural world around us through a range of nature themed activities across Mindenhurst. We have a full week of free events and activities for the whole community to enjoy. Keep reading for our Wild Week schedule in full. We look forward to seeing you there!
Nature Trail

There’s plenty to see at the Mindenhurst site!
Minibeast hunt and pond dipping
Come along to our minibeast hunt and pond dipping on the Village Green.
Lift a log, dig in the dirt, gaze into the water and search for the small insects that live on the Village Green. We will be there to help you carefully find and identify different types of minibeasts.
All ages are welcome but children must be accompanied by an adult.
