The Urban Wild festival is coordinated by Southampton National Park City.

 

Running from Monday 26 May - Sunday 1st June 2025.

Urban Wild is a city-wide festival celebrating local wild places and the connection, creativity, and community that surrounds them. The festival invites everyone to explore the city’s green and blue spaces through a dynamic programme of workshops, activities, walks, talks, performances, interactive experiences, and eco-inspired adventures.

As part of this event we are hosting and running several events.

THURSDAY 29th May 

We are hosting a willow weaving workshop with Willow and Crafts.

Join us for a relaxing day of crafting your own large willow butterfly or dragonfly!

Start with a brown willow base, then decorate your creation with colourful willows or add your own details later using paint, thread etc

Southampton residents are eligible to attend for a reduced price of £45, (the full price is £50).

Thanks to the Southampton National Park City we can offer three further discounted spaces to residents in receipt of certain benefits for just £20.

This is our biggest contribution to the festival. We've taken a lot of time to organise a full evening of activities themed around nocturnal animals. LINK

SUNDAY 1st June

The festival ends with a big event on the Common where you will find us making bird boxes.
