Families in Luton looking for outdoor activities for young children can attend the Little Bugs sessions starting on Thursday 7 May 2026 at the Wardown Park arboretum. These morning gatherings offer pre-school children aged 3 to 5 years old a chance to explore nature within a secure, enclosed space.
Organised by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire, the sessions run from 10:30am to 12:00pm. Each meeting includes nature-inspired themes, crafts, story time, and outdoor play designed to build confidence in nature for both the children and their guardians.
The events are part of the Wilder Luton project, which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This funding allows the organisers to offer a subsidised price of £3.50 per child. The wider project, which runs until August 2027, focuses on connecting local residents with green spaces like Wardown Park.
Those interested in attending should note that bookings must be made at least 24 hours before the event, and a minimum of four paying children is required for a session to go ahead. For more information, residents can contact Ieva Piraga at [email protected] or by calling 07871 987381.
