Summer fun for all the family
This summer, join us for fun and FREE nature activities for all the family. There’ll be butterfly walks and crafts, pond dipping, minibeast hunts and more.
There’s plenty to do for adults, too. Discover nature and get crafty with pebble painting, nature walks, and our GreenFingers gardening groups will be busy in parks across the area.
We look forward to seeing you.

Support Redhill Paddling Pool
Redhill paddling pool has been a family staple for years, drawing local parents and children to Redhill Park each summer.
This summer, those of us enjoying the Redhill paddling pool can make a voluntary donation towards the continued opening of the pool. All donations (small or large) will support the pool’s high maintenance costs and make a real difference to the sustainability of the pool.
Together, we can keep Redhill paddling pool open for future generations of children to enjoy. Thank you for your support. Click to find out more.
