London Wildlife Trust Cox’s Walk walking lore Imogen Lee
Discover the legends and folktales lurking in the woods. This evening storytelling session will take families on a walking-lore of Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Woods, where we will use our senses as our guide.
Together we will trace the tale of the orphaned Lambeth girl, who lived among the trees and used them to stow away a book which she had written in her own secret language. Along the way, discover the ghosts of the Victorians who cut through the Woods, only for the Wood to fight back and become a haven for wildlife.
This event is being run in partnership with the Greater London Authority as part of London Tree Week supported by the Mayor of London.
This event is free, but booking is essential as space is limited. Please follow the link to book your spot:
