Company Drinks together with Made Up Kitchen

7-12 only

The Explore the Wild program is a children-focused health and wellbeing programme for 7 to 12 year olds. Across two weeks this Summer, Company Drinks will transform the old bowls club and bowls green in Barking Park into a well-being space for wild play, growing, cooking, feasting, resting, creating, and eating nutritious food.

Company Drinks will be partnering with Made Up Kitchen to deliver nutritional food and cooking workshops through holistic approaches. We will invite some of our favourite local artists and practitioners to lead a wide range of creative activities inspired by Summer.

Explore the Wild will run each week for 4 consecutive days (Monday – Thursday) between 10:30am-2:00pm and lunch is provided.

Maximum 4 days per child to be booked.

Age Group: 7 to 12

Week 1 | 27th-30th July | 10:30-2:00pm

Week 2 | 3rd-6th August | 10:30-2:00pm
