Skelton Grange Environment Centre is opening its doors to everyone on Saturday 13th September for its popular annual Open Day. A whole range of activities for all the family will be on offer at the centre in South Leeds, including activities such as willow weaving, felt making, bushcraft demonstrations, face painting and a nature trail. Or just have a relaxing stroll around the Centre's wildlife gardens and enjoy home-made refreshments in the cafe.
The day will run from 11am til 4pm, and admission is just £1 for adults and free for children. The 'Friends of Skelton Grange' volunteer group are grateful for the support of the Leeds City Council Inner South Area Committee who have helped to fund the event.
“The Open Day is a great opportunity for everyone to come and explore our beautiful wildlife gardens and look around our eco-friendly building” said Centre Manager Caroline Crossley. “There’ll be lots of activities to get involved in, so come and find out what we have to offer!”
