In partnership with the WREN Conservation Group, the Nature Conservation Team will take a walk around Wanstead Park. We will work together to try and identify a variety of plants and animals.

This walk will last approximately 2.5 hours and is suitable for 7+ years. We will be walking along non formalised paths and uneven surfaces. Paths will be unsuitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. We highly recommend walking shoes/boots or wellingtons, especially if there has been persistent rain the weeks or days prior to the walk.

Please note, the walk may end up being longer, but you don’t have to stay for the full session or if you decide to stay longer, please bring some snacks or lunch, etc.

Only assistance dogs allowed.
Large areas are inaccessible for wheelchairs.

Appropriate for 7+ years, anyone between 7-15 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Celebrate Victorian Yiddish culture in London, along with friends whose communities have also gathered here making Redbridge one of the most diverse boroughs.

The parade invokes the late Victorian Era tradition of protest parades of Yiddish workers marching in London’s East End. The Great Yiddish Parade on Tour is produced by JW3 in London, Europe’s largest Jewish arts and community centre.   

PRE-PARADE WORKSHOPS – Redbridge Central Library – 12.30pm-2pm

JW3 are hosting workshops for children over 5yrs and adults prior to the start of the parade, making banners and learning about the act of gathering for protest through the ages, as well as the specific historical context of this parade.

THE PARADE – Sets off from and returns back to Redbridge Central Library – 2pm-3pm

 Join the collective of performers as they recreate the historic annual march, gathering with their neighbours, both Jewish and from other immigrant communities. The result is a celebration of music along with a protest against inequality and the rising cost of living featuring Yiddish song, Klezmer music and chants. It celebrates the contribution of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe to the UK and offers an inclusive approach to celebrate all migrant cultures and the music and culture they bring with them.

Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

It’s 2030, the world’s oceans have become volatile, dangerous and unable to sustain life. 

3 strangers meet on the high seas. A storm is coming.  FLOOD by Theatre Temoin is a new, interactive outdoor spectacle. Using circus, music and acrobatics, FLOOD takes you on an epic adventure to understand how our coastline and communities have become ‘seasick’. Standing under your own personalised ‘sound umbrella’, FLOOD will take you far beyond your front door and into the eye of the storm. FLOOD is watery acrobatic adventure that makes a splash (literally).  

Flood is inspired by an imaginary conversation between the UK coastal communities and the world’s oceans as both are feeling ‘seasick’.  Content created from hours of conversations with communities across the UK.  FLOOD is fully BSL integrated and used dynamic movement and acrobatics, immersive sound umbrella’s and a splashing set which helps create in immersive and fun audience experience.
