The Wild Ones

Bernadette Russell

Join me, Bernadette Russell, in beautiful Brookmill Park, Deptford (11am-12 midday) for some tales from the wild side of SE8, starring foxes, magpies, river spirits and other, stranger, mythical beings.
As you wander the park you may discover the secrets of the faraway creatures that lurk in the mysterious River Ravensbourne, learn wisdom from other earthlings, or find Deptford’s Wishing Tree… plus, make a charm to take home to bring you luck and good fortune for the coming Spring!
Age recommendation: adults of all ages and children aged 7yrs+
