Bring your kids to the woods of Sussex for a beautiful afternoon of nature connection.
This event has finished. Find our upcoming family events here.
This April join the Nest Collective team for nature connection games, folklore by the fireside, and a trek into the nightingales’ habitat to hear their incredible song.
This special family-focused event will be hosted by the Nest Collective’s very own storyteller, nature-facilitator and workshop-leader Tiff Wear.
Spend the afternoon ambling through the bluebells of a stunning ancient woodland, as Tiff beguiles you with folklore and bird knowledge. Enjoy a variety of nature connection games for you and your kids.
We will gather by the fireside for drinks and snacks before venturing into the woods once more to discover the rare nightingales’ habitat. Once there, we’ll gather gently close by and listen to their unmistakable courtship song.
Join us this April for a rare and thrilling journey in the springtime woodlands of Sussex.

The Nightingale
In this modern age, with biodiversity in decline and habitats being eroded, the Nightingale has become representative of all that we have to lose.
The nightingale is a small, brown, unremarkable looking bird, but it possesses one of nature’s finest singing voices. The bird winters in Africa but spends April to July mating and nesting in Europe and the Middle East. Worldwide, the population is healthy but the numbers visiting England have declined so sharply that it is now on the UK’s Red List of species of the greatest conservation concern.
Tiff is a theatre performer and storyteller. He runs nature immersion training, and has hosted at all our events across five years with The Nest Collective, including Singing With Nightingales.

Sussex
Secret location near Lewes, Sussex. Exact location and directions will be sent to ticket holders.
This beautiful location in the East Sussex countryside has a thriving population of Nightingales who make this their springtime home. The farm and its associated meadows and coppiced woodlands are a pristine wildlife environment.
Its closeness to Lewes and fast train direct from London to the nearest station of Cooksbridge make this a wonderful site which has allowed us many hours of deep listening and memorable times round the fire. Due to sensitivity with the small population of birds and being that this is private land and not public forest we must keep the exact location secret until your ticket has been purchased and instructions are ready to be sent out.
