World War One began in 1914 and ended in 1918. The war ended at exactly 11o’clock in the morning of Sunday 11th November after both sides agreed to stop fighting.

After the war people remember the soldiers who died every year on 11th November. This is called Remembrance Day.

On Remembrance Day people also think about those who lost their lives in World War Two and more recent conflicts.

Come along and make a remembrance poppy to hang on our tree or decorate a wreath so that you can remember a loved one.

Find out about our Remembrance Day service at Ilford War Memorial Gardens.

Join Tinder Sticks for some outdoor fun with your preschooler! Nature based activities in the woods. Stories in the hammocks, cook up a storm in the mud kitchen and more.

it’s our last Little Acorns session of the year! Nearly time for us to hibernate…what do the animals do in winter? Help make a cozy den for our cuddly foxes, make a bird feeder to take home and a mask from natural materials. What a treat – we’ll be based in the Farm this month! Closed to the public….open to Little Acorns only! (We will only have access to one small area of the farm and unfortunately can’t look round the rest of it)

New Orleans meets 90s club classics…a rave funeral without the body! 

In New Orleans, funerals are celebrated in style, with noisy brass bands processing through the streets. The main section of the parade is known as First Line, but the real fun starts with the Second Line, those who follow the band to enjoy the music, marching with the musicians and twirling parasols or waving handkerchiefs.  

Welcome to Second Lining. 

A rabble of mischievous northerners, Mr Wilson’s Second Liners form a traditional New Orleans Second Line. However, this is no sombre occasion: Mr Wilson’s expend their collective musical talent paying homage to the diehard days of the Hacienda, 90s club culture and its greatest hero, Mr Tony Wilson.  

These revolutionary genre bashers knock the First Line sideways, opting for upbeat dance tracks over traditional slow hymns. Proudly stepping out in uniformed style, they channel the spirit of the 24 hour party people and get audiences dancing wherever they play. 

Join us in the library and in the High Street where the band will lead our flamboyant grand procession of Catarinas and cheeky skeletons. Dance with the performers in this street extravaganza which will be bursting with colour and sound and let this be a final act of remembrance of lost loved ones and a reminder to live life to the full.
