Come and join in Puppet Fun between 10.30 and 12.30 with our longstanding friends Lizzie and Les aka Puppet Backup. Bring your own favourite toy or puppet, and a sharing snack.

Meet at the Rec (you can't miss us!) or at the Scout Hut if the weather is bad. (It's in Brickfield Road, opposite the junction with Somerset Road.)

All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Tell your friends!

Fancy something different on a Saturday morning? Our popular Nature Kids session will be running again this coming Saturday, courtesy of the Friends of Portswood Rec.

With a generous grant from the UK Prosperity Fund earlier this year, we've been able to buy a new gazebo, art and craft materials, and a great selection of garden games.

This and other sessions are aimed at children in the 5-11 age range, and are free of charge. Drop in whenever convenient and stay for as long as you wish. All kids should be accompanied by a responsible adult.

We do rely on volunteer help for Nature Kids. If you feel you could introduce a new activity or skill, or just be on hand to keep things rolling, do get in touch. Thank you as always!

01 Aug 26 - Nature Kids August 2026

Our ever-popular Saturday morning kids' event. There'll be lots of cool stuff for children aged around 5 to 11 with a choice of activities - all with a nature theme. Drop in at any time between 10.30 and 12.30.

Run by our volunteers, FoPR kids events are completely free, including drinks and snacks.

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. There's plenty of seating, and even the option of joining in the gardening session which will be running alongside. In this hot weather, remember hats and sunblock, plus plenty to drink. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
