Picnic and Play – Family Fun in East Pollokshields

Date: Saturday 17th June   /   Time: 12:00pm - 3:00pm

FREE family fun afternoon with Licketyspit, Kin Kitchen, and The Hidden Gardens.

Children aged 3-8 and their families are invited to the magical Hidden Gardens for an afternoon of imaginary play, delicious food, and discovering nature’s secrets!

Bring a picnic and enjoy the gardens. They are open for everyone to enjoy from 12pm – 5pm.

Event activities from 1 to 3 pm include family workshops where you can create your own window-ledge planter, making a lavender pouch to put under your pillow, taking a guided tour round the gardens, and sharing recipes and culinary creations.

These workshops will be an opportunity to connect with your children, your imagination, and the natural world. We hope it plants seeds for stories, friendships, and the community to grow together.
