Families can turn leaves and petals into clay decorations at Cambridge’s Nature Impressions family activity on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 August 2026. The all-ages workshop runs from 10.30am to 1.30pm on both days in the Garden Room at the Schools’ Garden, 1 Brookside, Cambridge, CB2 1JE.

The activity is drop-in, so no advance booking or scheduled appointment is required. Normal Garden admission applies to accompanying adults, although the Visit Cambridge Events listing does not give the admission price or state whether there is a separate activity charge.

Leaves and petals shape each clay design

The workshop uses plant material as both inspiration and a practical tool. Participants will press leaves and petals into clay, transferring their shapes, veins and surface textures onto individual pieces.

Those clay designs can then be used as decorations. Families also have the option of taking the finished pieces home to paint later, extending the craft beyond the session without requiring participants to complete that stage in the Garden Room.

Because the source lists the activity as suitable for all ages, families do not need to select a particular age-group session. The drop-in format also means visitors can arrive during the published three-hour window rather than booking a fixed start time.

When and where to join the workshop

The same arrangements apply on both listed dates:

Thursday 20 August 2026, 10.30am–1.30pm

Venue: Schools’ Garden, Garden Room
Address: 1 Brookside, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB2 1JE

Visit Cambridge Events identifies the Garden Room as the place to find the workshop. The supplied event details do not include transport or parking information, so visitors should make their own journey and location checks before setting out.

Admission and access information

Normal Garden admission applies to adults accompanying children. As no adult admission figure is included in the listing, families should check the current cost rather than assume that entry is free.

The listed facilities describe the site as having mostly flat terrain and wheelchair access, with wheelchair accessibility also indicated for the restaurant. A restaurant is available on site. Visitors planning around particular access requirements can use those published details as a starting point, while the event page remains the source for any further information before attending.
