Garden Party at High House Production Park

Saturday 25 May 2024

12 – 6pm

High House Production Park, Vellacott Close, Purfleet, RM19 1RJ

A Garden Party at High House Production Park to launch this year’s T100 Goes Wild festival in collaboration with Arts Outburst for their Get Creative May. Local artist Lora Aziz will be resident in the T100 Community Natural Dye Garden delivering activities that encourage everyone to get closer to the site’s wildlife and Arts Outburst will be presenting THE ALLOTMENT PROJECT, a piece of Documentary Dance Theatre by Casson & Friends, that explores allotments and the communities around them!

A day of family-friendly creative workshops, performances, guided tours, performances, flag installations, nature journaling, wildlife sketching and more as we take over the High House site including the community natural dye garden, the Orchard and allotments.

Come along to be creatively inspired, connect with nature and enjoy different activities designed with the outdoors, creativity and wellbeing in mind. A fantastic way to celebrate Arts and Health week 2024. Come and be inspired by our local outdoor spaces.

Drop-in throughout the day, no booking required.
