The Suntrap animals were introduced to the many visitors who came to this fun event. Chance to learn an important life lesson in facing your fears!
A Beastly Advenutre
The team ran a stall at this great event. 9000 people came along which gave us a great opportunity to bring nature nearer to them! Our first visitor was a friendly City of London policeman.
August 2019 update
Our decrepit green hut, garage and animals sheds are all now gone! Looks so different without them. We're glad our Artist in Residence, Emma Bond captured them on canvas before they were pulled down!
Autumn 2019 - Spring 2020
Through Great Places:Creative Connection Scheme funding Suntrap is running free workshops on our local heritage and natural environment for Waltham Forest schools.
September 2019 onwards
In Waltham Forest we're on a Library Tour with an inspirational exhibition and the chance to meet the Suntrap animals and learn more about our local heritage.
