Wild City Collective

What we do

Wild City Collective, originally based in Tilehurst and now moving to Gloucester Road, in West Reading, seeks to connect children and adults with nature in their inspiring and inclusive outdoor spaces. Through forest-school playgroup sessions – Little Robins – and regular sessions for families home educating – Wonderous Wrens – Wild City Collective fosters growth, curiosity and a sense of community in children and their families. They also run events and sessions throughout the year for all ages at their community garden

Sessions

All sessions will be run at their new site in Gloucester Road from September 2026. These include weekly playgroup sessions for under 5’s run every Tuesday, 10–11.30 am throughout the school term, and weekly sessions for families home educating, every Monday, 10–11.30 am. Additionally, Wild Camp – a week of fun and games for children aged 4-11 years - is run during the school summer holidays, as is Pioneers, funded sessions for children on free school meals. A programme of seasonal workshops (from floristry to crafts) and events for the local community are planned for spring 2027 onwards  Community garden sessions are also planned. Sessions are run by trained forest-school leaders, supported by a team of volunteers.

Their Gloucester Road site is easily reached by public transport and parking is available on nearby roads and at Kensington Road carpark . The site includes an indoor community hall, enabling sessions to go ahead regardless of the weather. Sessions should be booked in advance via their website
