Hi everyone 👋

Hope you’ve all had a wonderful time over Easter!

Over here at The Acorn Club I’ve been doing some sums and checking the equipment inventory and much more. 🧮

The last few terms have been really great fun and I’m so grateful for the wonderful participants and volunteers that have joined us. But regular sessions won’t be returning this term. The rising cost of just about everything and the need to update some large pieces of equipment mean I need to almost triple the numbers of participants to make it work as it has been! 😳

However, please keep following along as I will arrange some sessions, just less often and with lots more activities out at once, with the hope of fully filling them up and ensuring you get your Mill Park messy nature play fix 🥰

The Acorn club is part of The Outdoor Club CIC and we also run seasonal sessions, so keep an eye on that page to see what we’re up too there.

Thanks for joining me through these changes, hopefully we can still build something really fun together!

Ellie 🥰💚🌿

Hey lovely Acorn Club members!

Thank you so much for your patience, I have been quiet on social media, but lots has been happening behind the scenes at The Acorn Club and The Outdoor Club CIC that we're so excited to get going with this year! 🥰

I'm so excited to be coming back to sessions!! There are gentle signs of Spring popping up everywhere and by next month it'll hopefully be brighter and a bit milder 🤞🏻🌳🍁🪺🍄🌸

There are some photos below of some of what we do 🥰

Please get in touch if you have any questions. More sessions and other dates will be added after Easter.
