Join We Are Wonder this Easter holidays for a joyful celebration of sensory and neurodivergent play. Get tangled in the trees, paint with stone pigments, divert and channel water, and uncover miniature treasures at The Hidden Gardens.

Led by neurodivergent playworkers and outdoor educators, this event is all about sharing unique playstyles and finding connection through sensory experiences in nature.
