Summer Solstice Celebration

October Casts A Spell

If you have a site or community group and would like us to bring you a Seasonal Celebration or workshop, then please get in touch.

 

We are currently working with Bathscape Landscape Partnership to deliver our seasonal celebrations in the Bath area.

As part of the Bathscape project, we are delivering a programme of outdoor events in the beautiful Bath landscape over five years (2019 - 2023)

Designed to reconnect the people of Bath with their surroundings, the events are all about getting out in nature: walking, talking, planting, growing, creating, listening, responding… remembering how lucky we are and doing something about it!

 

“Our workshop with Kilter was engaging from the first moment. Olly's enthusiasm, creativity and sense of fun immediately captivated the children and resulted in lots of giggles. Every child contributed and came away proud of their learning. What a thrill! Thank you!”

– Rebecca Mellow, Deputy Headteacher, St Michael’s Junior Church School
