Come and celebrate Autumn at our event on Saturday 26th September between 12 and 4pm

This event is FREE!

At 1pm we will be joined by Georgie Taylor, who is bringing her show Fungi Frida and the Myco Heroes

A Theatre performance for all ages

Here we are in Plasticland… there’s rubbish everywhere, and that’s no good! Join Fungi Frida as she travels along the Wood Wide Web to meet a host of mycological superheroes and find the perfect mushroom ally to help us clean up the plastic – she can’t do it without you!

Will it be cordyceps, who can control minds? Or isaria, who heals poorly people? Or coprinus, who makes ink? Or maybe pleurotus, he’s not a fussy eater…

‘Fungi Frida and the Myco Heroes’ is an hour-long, energetic, silly, interactive outdoor performance full of songs, games, clowning, and puppetry for all the family all about fungi and how they can help us save the environment!

2.30pm – we will have live music from George Northall

A event for the whole family, with nature crafts, an Autumn Treasure Hunt and games

Our cafe will be serving hot and cold drinks and home made cakes!

With thanks to our funders National Lottery Community Fund and Black Country Touring for making this event possible.

We hope to see you there!!

Wild Fires – October Writing Workshop

Tuesday 28th October, 11am – 2pm.

The second Writers’ Workshop in Caldmore Community Garden looks towards winter, with its shorter days and colder nights, and the fires we burn to keep our spirits bright. We will explore the theme and the garden in relation to each other, and also bring our own thoughts and experiences of the ways we have found to bring light to dark days.

Once again this is a self-contained workshop, free of charge, and writers in any genre and of any experience are welcome. For those who intend to come to more than one workshop, it can be used to develop and add to a growing body of work. If you wish to book, please email David Calcutt at: davidcalcutt@gmail.com.

We will spend about an hour in the garden, and then walk to the White Lion pub, just five minutes away, where the landlord, Colin, will be waiting to greet us with his hearty and very reasonably priced lunch menu. The workshop will continue during and after lunch. In the case of very bad weather the first hour of the workshop will take place in Caldmore Village Hub, in Caldmore Green, just a few minutes walk from the garden.

Caldmore Community Garden can be found in Carless Street, Caldmore, Walsall, which is off Bath Road, facing Caldmore Primary School and backing onto St. Michael’s Church. The postcode is WS1 3RH. There is some parking outside the garden. For those using public transport, the bus number 4M leaves from Bradford Place bus station and takes you to Caldmore Green. The garden is about 3 minutes walk from there. If you’re coming by train and bus, let me know, and I’ll arrange to meet you at Caldmore Green.
