About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

Come and join us on our beautiful site in our annual celebration of playing outside!

Explore the meadows, woodland and ponds, and meet some of the creatures that live here.

Our green oasis beside the River Aire, just 2 miles from Leeds City Centre, is a former industrial site that has been transformed into a haven for wildlife and people.

Our cafe will be open for home-made cakes and a cuppa - or bring your own picnic!

The event is free but donations are much appreciated.

Access note: Please be aware that there is currently a security cabin and gate about halfway along Skelton Grange Road. This is in relation to the construction site next door to the Environment Centre.

If you travel by car they will probably note the vehicle registration and ask for the driver’s name and where you are going (tell them TCV). It is simply to keep track of traffic entering and leaving. If you are walking down you can go straight past. Essentially, don’t be worried when you see it, you are going to the right place!
